The advanced practice seminar option is designed as a culminating clinical experience to provide an alternative to the thesis option. Students will be required to present an advanced practice plan and identify a clinical preceptor prior to beginning their project. Advanced practice seminars include a minimum of 120 clock hours of clinical practice per three hour course in the approved area. Upon completion of the experience, the student will be required to provide a written evaluation of the project. Additionally, the student will be required to perform an oral defense of findings to his/her committee.
The thesis option constitutes a significant part of the work toward a master's degree. The thesis must represent a high standard of scholarly inquiry, methodology, techniques, statistics, and literature review. Candidates for degrees are required to present findings to their graduate committee in the form of an oral defense.
Students must meet the department retention requirements and additional requirements as stated in the ETSU Graduate Catalog.
