Health Science Capstone

Catalog description

This course is the second of a two-course capstone sequence intended to allow students to demonstrate what they have learned throughout the Health Science program in an applied context. In this course, students will use the knowledge gained during their coursework across the areas of the social and biological causes of illness, determinants of mental health and psychopathology, and disease prevention and health promotion to identify a topic in the health sciences. Using the identified topic, students will develop and pilot a research proposal that frames the research question(s), discusses the rationale for the question(s), includes a review of the literature on the topic, and describe the planned data collection and analysis activities. Note: This class replaced HS 4995 Research Methods in Health Science 2.
