The MA Project Option

The capstone project addresses a question or problem of writing or communication that grows out of work experience, coursework, or a new interest. The capstone project demonstrates your ability to apply academic knowledge to practical problems as a reflective practitioner and, conversely, to build academic knowledge by assessing theory in light of practical situations.

To complete your capstone project, you should notify the Program Director the semester before you intend to complete your project. You will be enrolled in English 797 and complete your project alongside other students who are completing their projects that semester.
