Applications Project
MBA Criminal Justice Concentration Only

The capstone project for the Master of Business Administration Criminal Justice Concentration program is the only oral and written presentation of significant work relevant to the student's employment (CJ 590). The project will be written in traditional thesis format and will be available for reference in the Pilgrim Library. Enhancements may be made to the project for purposes of the oral presentation. The subject of the project will be discussed with the course instructor and approved prior to beginning work. Projects may cover a wide variety of topics but will be developed with a view toward applicability and usefulness in the workplace. Students should refer to the Graduate Capstone Handbook (received in BA503) as a reference for completing the project.

Students should have completed 15 hours or more prior to enrolling in CJ590. Students on academic probation cannot enroll in CJ590. Students may not present their project if placed on academic probation while enrolled in CJ590.

The Leadership Application Project course will consist of at least two sessions devoted entirely to the project process. Elements of this process may provide subject material for the development of individual projects. The course is designed to allow students the time necessary to complete the project during the progress of the course.

Upon completion of the project and approval by the course instructor/academic advisor, students will present the project orally in a classroom setting to graduate faculty and/or students followed by questions from the course instructor and/or audience. Presentations should be approximately 30 minutes in length..
