Integrating Project or supplemental professional competencies (8 credit hours)
The MA Program culminates in one of two options: Option A (Integrating Project) or Option B (Four Supplemental Professional Competencies). Both of these options are described below.
OPTION “A”: The Integrating Project
The Integrating Project is an original, independently conducted project that both incorporates elements of theory and practice and demonstrates integration of Liberal Learning and Focus Area competencies. It is intended to make an original contribution to the student’s professional field and often involves a practice-based problem with an appropriate solution. Insofar as it is designed to integrate the student’s current program of study, the Integrating Project may not be fulfilled through a “prior learning” submission.
OPTION “B”: Four Supplemental Professional Competencies
Instead of an Integrating Project, students may choose to develop and demonstrate supplemental competencies across the eight areas of Focus Area.
