Event Description - The Master's Project is designed to provide flexible alternatives for the student in designing a culminating experience for the Master's Degree program of study. The project may be concerned with the design and application of policy or programs. The project may be a film or videotape related specifically to the program of study, or the project may be a lecture-demonstration. Some candidates connect their project development to "real-life" experiences, such as preparing to open a dance studio or choreograph/teach in an area elementary or secondary school. Others write extensive papers that explore connections between theory and practice in arts education or public policy. If the candidate is interested in research, especially as it may provide direction toward a doctoral program, the project may involve scholarly research and data collection, but of a lesser magnitude than that normally required of a thesis.Event Philosophy - Each Ed.M. project is presented in a formal setting at the end of the semester in which the project is completed. The presentation occurs in a classroom or conference room, is 20-25 minutes in length, and should be accompanied by multi-media supprt. The required abstract must be completed before the presentation and distributed to all in attendance. Regardless of topic, a typed abstract must accompany the final project. This abstract is not to exceed 4 type-written, double-spaced pages. It provides an overview of the project for the department to keep on file. Specifics of organization can be determined with the project advisor.
