Missing Course Descriptions:
PHA-595 Master’s Research Project I
This is the first of a two-part course sequence that will integrate the critical thinking, application of research data analysis, and presentation skills taught throughout the program in a formative research capstone project. Students are expected to apply knowledge obtained from PHA 521: Research and Statistics and participation in journal club activities in the development of their project. Students will work with an assigned faculty advisor to develop a clinical research question and gather, analyze, and critique relevant research literature related to the proposed question to develop an extensive literature review paper. Students will use this information in the next part of the course sequence to prepare a master’s capstone project designed to develop a potential research study. Retake Counts for Credit: No. Pass/No Pass Grading Allowed: Yes. Credit(s): 1
PHA-596 Master’s Research Project II
This is the second of a two-part course sequence that will integrate the critical thinking, application of research data analysis, and presentation skills taught throughout the program in a formative research capstone project. Students are expected to apply knowledge obtained from PHA 521: Research and Statistics and participation in journal club activities in the development of their project. Students will work with an assigned faculty advisor to develop a feasible research project based on the research question and literature review developed in PHA 595. Students will then prepare a master’s capstone paper and presentation based on their original research study design. Retake Counts for Credit: No. Pass/No Pass Grading Allowed: Yes. Credit(s): 1
