6 unit(s)

(Cross-listed as HLTH MGT 730)

This full course is designed as an opportunity for graduate course-based M.Sc. students to demonstrate, in writing, their ability to integrate ideas that reflect current knowledge in areas of rehabilitation practice, education, research, and/or policy. The scholarly paper is to demonstrate integrative thinking at a general and abstract level. A student will identify a topic, and in consultation with a faculty member with expertise in the area develop a proposal that is individualized to the student’s area of interest. The student will then develop the paper under the guidance of a faculty member. The paper must be 25 to 30 pages, excluding references and appendices. The paper does not involve the collection or analysis of primary data or the conduct of research with subjects. It is a scholarly essay, not a thesis.

Students may choose REHAB 730 for degree completion OR as an elective. If students chose to take REHAB 730 as an elective, REHAB 735 Research Project must be taken for degree completion.
