GRN 570 - Proposal Writing in Gerontology

Credits: 3.0
The culminating experience in the Master’s of Science in Gerontology program can be either a thesis or capstone project. The thesis option (GRN 590) is recommended for those students planning a writing- or research-focused career or those planning to continue their education in a doctoral program. The capstone project (GRN 580) is recommended for those planning a service-oriented career.

Candidates enrolled in this course will examine the components of each option and make a selection for their culminating experience. Under direction of the instructor, the candidate will develop an APA formatted proposal for either the thesis or the capstone, which will include a brief literature review and a discussion of the purposes and methodology that will be implemented.
