Prerequisite
HUB 650

Course Description
The course is the capstone project for the MAHB program. Each student conducts a major project that integrates a topic of special interest. The project will analyze and synthesize theoretical and applied concepts from a specialized area selected by the student. Specific course requirements will vary depending upon the instructor, but the student should expect to produce a 20-30 page paper (APA style) that will be evaluated on clarity, thoroughness, style, format, and creativity. An oral presentation of the student's work is also expected. Literature reviews and empirically-based studies are the norm, but other formats are acceptable with the approval of the instructor. The student will normally be required to develop a project proposal during HB650 (Foundations of Behavioral Research) or HB660 (Organizational Assessment) that can then be completed during the capstone course.
