Introduction to Capstone II

Catalog description

This course is designed to continue to support the students’ doctoral capstone project by developing and creating their specific project before implementation. In this course, students build on their work in Introduction to Capstone I to finalize plans for the doctoral capstone, which provides students with in-depth learning focusing on clinical practice skills, research, administration, leadership, program development, policy development, advocacy and/or education. Students apply information from the literature and evidence-based methods to guide the design of their capstone project including the identification of methods and outcome measures. Students develop a thorough and detailed description of the proposed capstone project and a plan for implementation by working collaboratively with their mentor(s). They present their plans and defend their decisions to their capstone faculty mentor while incorporating feedback into their final written plans.
