Projects for Professionals

Catalog description

Offers students an opportunity to apply knowledge and skills gained through their master’s program to challenging short-term projects under faculty supervision. Matches students with discipline-specific consulting projects provided by a wide range of sponsoring organizations in the private and nonprofit sectors. Students develop a project plan, conduct research, develop and deliver recommendations to the sponsoring organization, and reflect on lessons learned. Mapping human resources management competencies and skills to the consultative process is a primary learning outcome. As the capstone, this course should be the last course taken. Students with less than two years of professional experience must successfully complete a noncredit Experiential Learning project before registering for the capstone course.
