PY 699 Master’s Thesis in Counseling


(6 credits)
This individually initiated and directed set of experiences involves writing an acceptable proposal, carrying out a comprehensive project (e.g., a research project, a program development project, a community service project, or a social advocacy project) that includes the collection and evaluation of quantitative or qualitative data, and writing a professional quality manuscript in APA format. It could also involve presenting the project at an open forum to faculty and students or at a professional conference. The thesis normally requires two semesters (6 credits) and is usually done over the fall and spring semesters. It is designed especially 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: At least 12 credits, including PY 521 ; grade of A- or better in PY 521 ; overall GPA of at least 3.5; no grade below a B; agreement of the supervising faculty member. Matriculated students only.
