As a capstone project, students must register for 6 credits of Master’s Thesis PERF-797, Directed Research PERF-793, or Master’s Portfolio PERF-792. The Master’s Thesis is a traditional research-based academic exercise designed for those interested in pursuing a PhD or work in a research field. The Directed Research project involves research with practical analysis or application, for example a case study or marketing plan. The Master’s Portfolio involves an additional 200 hours of internship and the development of a creative professional portfolio.
