Course focuses on the development of the OTD capstone project proposal. Emphasis is placed on understanding and defining the relationship between elements in a scholarly proposal including the problem statement supported by the needs assessment, literature review, methodology, and knowledge translation (KT) sections. Students will develop culturally and contextually appropriate KT products, based on the needs of multiple stakeholders to disseminate knowledge gained from their Capstone project and facilitate uptake of their work.

This course is the final culmination of the Capstone requirement. This course includes one-on-one advising and finalizing of all capstone deliverables as students prepare for Problem of Practice defenses in the final semester.

The focus of the course is to guide students’ implementation and completion of their doctoral capstone project while on the Doctoral Capstone Experience (DCE). The doctoral capstone coordinator (DCC) will deliver lectures, and serve as a resource and consultant to students, faculty and capstone mentors. The faculty mentor serves as a resource and consultant to the student on the doctoral capstone proposal that was developed in previous courses. Students will complete a final capstone report and disseminate outcomes of their capstone project at the end of the course.

This capstone thesis course gives students nearing graduation the opportunity to integrate and apply what they have gained through previous academic coursework and field experiences to major culminating projects while being supervised by ECT faculty members. Options for capstone thesis projects include design and development projects, research studies, and scholarly inquiry papers.

This is a 0-credit course to ensure students receive advising and complete all deliverables to successfully defend the Problem of Practice during a period of maintenance of matriculation.

Students will participate in practical training to design and perform a research study developed with a concern for data availability, importance of problem, and ability to ascertain causal relationships. Projects will be designed and written for a particular 'clientele' in the policy community. Emphasis will be placed on the appropriate use of the data set, the methodology, and documenting the research in a written form that will be understood by and useful for the intended audience. The development of effective and efficient teams that utilize and build upon the experience, skills and interests of team members is an integral part of the Education and Social Policy curriculum.

Various ways of writing up results for presentation in dissertations and other publishable forms are examined. Guidelines for qualitative, field-based dissertation proposals are reviewed.

Course provides students with a basic knowledge of both how to perform analyses and critique the use of some more advanced statistical methods useful in answering policy questions. While randomized experiments will be discussed, the primary focus will be the challenge of answering causal questions using data that do not meet such standards. Several approaches for observational data including propensity score methods, instrumental variables, difference in differences, fixed effects models and regression discontinuity designs will be discussed. Examples from real public policy studies will be used to illustrate key ideas and methods.
