Capstone

Catalog description

Upon completion of all Masters in Educational Leadership course work, including Research Methods, students will complete their Master’s Thesis or Capstone. The Master’s Capstone is a final product for the Master’s in Educational Leadership and is the culmination of the courses and experiences the student has encountered professionally and within the program. The Capstone is intended to help students identify a weakness in their school, district, or professional setting and address that area with an intervention, implement and collect data on the intervention, and draw reasonable conclusions. Students will be required to apply key concepts from core coursework and provide a research-based rationale for selecting the particular intervention. This course must be completed at Marian University. Students must enroll in this course each semester until their capstone project is completed. Graded S/U.
