Capstone

Catalog description

The unit is a three-credit course marking the culmination of the Fish Center MA program. Open ended and highly flexible, this unit allows students to grow their academic journey in three different directions. Students may choose one of the three options: a. To integrate the different areas of study surveyed in the program into a single, focused research topic dedicated to a specific subject, b. To pursue a practical project, often done in partnership with an external organization or program to which their knowledge may be applied, c. To take a comprehensive exam that will summarize and synthesize their entire coursework.
