EDES 6900 Educational Studies Capstone Project

3 semester hours

In this course candidates will integrate his or her individualized program of study into a problem of practice paper that identifies and describes a real-world issue or problem in education. It will require the integration of literature, course material, learning from previous courses as well as life experience and will utilize that information to complete an evidence-based solution to a real-world problem of practice. The final papers will be presented to a panel of faculty and students. Each cohort of candidates taking the capstone course will meet regularly to share the problems and solutions each student is examining in their problem of practice paper; discuss progress, challenges, and questions; and exchange feedback and ideas across a range of issues in education.
