DSAB 699 - Capstone Course (3 Credits)

Prerequisite: None
This course, which should be taken in the student’s final semester, is an opportunity for the student to integrate and synthesize the body of knowledge acquired in courses leading to completion of the M.A. in Disability Studies. Students will work with the instructor to develop a multi-disciplinary capstone project that demonstrates the student’s command of subject matter and literature covered in the courses. The capstone may take various forms, including an independent or group research project; an annotated literature review; or a media presentation. All capstones must include an extensive bibliography and a 20-25 page analytic essay. Classroom sessions will alternate with independent supervised research and project development.
