Capstone project description
Students will design and undertake a project and its corollary product relevant to their interests, experience, and intended use of the MA in bioethics. The experiential component is designed to be flexible, allowing the student to undertake an internship, shadow physicians or other health care personnel, or use their own work experience when relevant to cater a project to their intended goals. Rigor is maintained through committee oversight, nature of the experience, and number of hours undertaken.
Products are also designed to be flexible while retaining rigor, innovation, and written analysis. Original research is not required (as with a thesis), but a thorough literature review and accompanying overview or synthesis of the arena of which the project is a part is necessary, as is a thorough explanation of the final product. Full committee approval of the final product before the project is undertaken is required.
