In addition to the core curriculum and elective courses, degree candidates must complete either (i) a master’s paper, or (ii) a supervised internship placement. The master’s paper will involve integrating and showing mastery of the subject matter of the student’s curricular emphasis, and may also involve original research. If the internship option is chosen, the student will participate in a supervised internship placement of sufficient depth and professionalism that would allow the student to experience the integration of their curricular studies in an actual professional environment. A reflective paper will be submitted as a part of the internship requirement.
