The program culminates in this Capstone Seminar, which requires each student to complete an independent, faculty-approved project that will address a substantive or methodological challenge in Organizational Leadership. A successful capstone will include research that provides evidence of the student's mastery of the theoretical knowledge and analytical skills central to the degree's learning outcomes. The capstone provides an opportunity to apply the skills acquired throughout the program to a key challenge facing their organization or community. This course will introduce a variety of research and statistical methods intended to provide a basis for designing the capstone. Students will prepare a literature review, a bibliography, select a research method appropriate to their study, and analyze data in their capstone project.
