PY 697 Master’s Thesis in Counseling

3-credit option
This is the first part of a 6-credit course. Students are advised by two faculty members to develop, propose, and execute a comprehensive project (e.g., a research study, a program development project, a community service project, or a social advocacy project) that includes the collection and evaluation of quantitative or qualitative data. To complete this experience, students are expected to prepare a manuscript in APA publication style that is suitable for publication and present their project at an open forum to faculty and students or at a professional conference. The thesis is designed for students who wish to pursue advanced study beyond the Master’s level or who plan to make program development and evaluation part of their careers in counseling.

Prerequisite: Matriculated students only. At least 12 credits, grade of A- or better in PY521; overall GPA of at least 3.5; no grade below a B; completion of a successful pre-proposal; agreement of the supervising faculty members.
