developing a series of significant papers germane to current administrative issues

Major: Master of Science in Administration (International Administration)

 

COURSE DESCRIPTION

 

Intensive writing course integrating Master of Since in Adminstration core and concentration courses by developing a series of significant papers germane to current administrative issues.   This course may be offered in an online or hybrid format.

 

The course format is classroom instruction and student research/writing supported by instructor-student conferences scheduled as necessary. The classroom portion leads to the development of five comprehensive papers, covering MSA 601 (Organizational Dynamics), 602(, 603(Strategic Planning for the Administrator), and 604, and a Final Critical Analysis paper.  Central to each paper is the integration of the student’s area of concentration.  This research is then folded into a fifth “critical analysis” paper which summarizes the learning that has taken place throughout the degree program, and includes a brief presentation to the Instructor.

 

The papers should be of sufficient depth to deal completely with the issue. Minimum length is 8 pages with a maximum of 10 pages for each of the 4 papers, and 6-8 written pages for the final critical analysis, excluding tables, graphs, and appendixes

 

Students will produce 4 papers and a final critical analysis paper related to their area of concentration.  Papers 1-4 follow the same issue or organization or problem.

 

  1. Paper 1 applies content and theory from MSA 601 to an issue/problem/research related to the student’s concentration.
