The first component of the program is the Learning Plan Research & Development Seminar (700). This Seminar explores the aims of graduate education with a particular focus on the program of study leading to a Master of Arts in Applied Professional Studies.
It explores purpose, scope, philosophy, key roles and processes. The development of a working draft of the Learning Plan for the individualized portion of the program (i.e., the Focus Area) is emphasized. Moreover, attaining a fuller understanding of individual fields of professional study and applying Liberal Learning Skills in professional practice are themes of the seminar. The students are supported by faculty mentors to establish an academic committee consisting of the student, the faculty mentor, and a professional advisor (an established practitioner in the student’s professional Focus Area).
Learning Plan Review. (2 credit hours) Throughout the second quarter, students finalize their Learning Plans, convene their Academic Committee (comprised of themselves, their professional advisor, and their faculty mentor) to review their Learning Plans, and upon initial approval, submit their Learning Plans for official program approval.
