MPC 6800 - Advanced Communication Research and Writing

(1)

To fulfill the requirements of the MPC degree, students will produce a research project growing out of the student’s graduate study as it applies to the workplace (Project) OR write a more traditional academic capstone research thesis (Thesis). Students may choose one or the other to fulfill this requirement. This one-credit hour course is dedicated to an overview of appropriate projects and descriptions of project expectations. Students will, with the aid of the course instructor, select research topics as well as complete literature reviews and choose methods for student thesis or capstone applied projects. Research outcomes will be designed specifically to enhance student career goals. Students will form their thesis/project committees and will begin to compose their project prospectus.
