Comprehensive
Exam** & Culminating Experience*** |
Culminating Experience
In addition
to passing a comprehensive written examination, all graduate students
in the Safety Program who choose a non-thesis option will participate
in a culminating experience. This experience allows the student
to further demonstrate his or her ability to apply knowledge independently,
translate knowledge into practice, and integrate the skills and
knowledge gained from core safety courses with those acquired from
the student's major area of concentration. Each safety student
must complete at least one option from the following list to meet
the requirements for completion of a culminating experience:
- a
three credit hour internship including a written report;
- a
special team-based applied safety project and accompanying written
report;
- an
approved three credit hour independent study, applied research,
or service project; or
- a
journal article, written during the last year of course work
and submitted for approval three months prior to graduation to
the Safety Graduate Coordinator. (This article should focus on
an issue addressed in a core safety course and integrate it with
the student's major concentration area and be suitable for journal
publication.)
