Doctoral Capstone Seminar
The Doctoral Capstone Seminar is designed to support the
development of the capstone proposal for the Doctoral Capstone
Project which should originate and evolve prior to and during
participation in the Doctoral Practicum. Students will
meet with selected faculty advisor (s) to collectively formulate
an applied project focus or question and decide on appropriate
methodologies and analysis strategies as well as the context in
which the Doctoral Capstone Project will be documented.
The student will present the proposal to the DrPH Faculty
Leadership Chair and/or selected faculty and upon the conclusion
of that first tiered review will then be required to make a
public presentation of the proposal to the general faculty in
the Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health for additional input
and/or suggestions of application. At the conclusion of
the open forum, the student in collaboration with the DrPH
Faculty Leadership Chair and/or selected faculty advisor (s)
will formally finalize the Doctoral Capstone Project proposal.
Prerequisites: PBHL 997V: Doctoral Practicum and
permission of the DrPH Faculty Leadership Chair.. |
