The M.A. Project, also a culminating activity, is a 3-credit option, coordinated with the approval of one faculty member. According to the Graduate School:
Although the nature of the Master’s Project may vary, it is essential that all projects demonstrate a grounding in the professional literature of the discipline and document the student’s ability to reflect on the experience of the project itself and its success.
Maintaining quality in the completion of Master’s Projects is the responsibility of the individual faculty, advisers, and/or committees formed to oversee Master’s Projects in each program. Thus, those that supervise the Master’s Project should provide clear written expectations for project completion and should implement them consistently for all students. The Master’s Project should consist of a written document that demonstrates or reports the results and/or what was undertaken in completion of the project. The specific format used for the Master’s Project should be appropriate to the nature of the project itself and the discipline, and is at the discretion of the faculty.
Please note, that the Master's Project is only a 3 credit hour project, so students will still need an additional 3 credits to complete the degree.
