Continuation of GSA 595. During the Spring semester the focus is on the team.
Prerequisite: GSA 595 Leadership Seminar I.

(E) GSA 598 Thesis Seminar (3cr.)
Instructor: By arrangement
The thesis is an elective choice for students who wish to do primary research on a topic of choice in Administration/Management.  Students not completing the course in one semester will receive an “XT” (Extended for Thesis Work) grade and will have the two following semesters to complete the thesis and defense; therefore, the student registers only when ready to write her/his thesis. Prerequisites: Completion or near completion of all previous course work.  Students must have an approved hypothesis or problem statement in order to register.

(E) GSA 686 Independent Study (1-3 cr.)
Under special circumstances, when a course is not offered during a given semester, or when there is an irresolvable scheduling conflict, a student may complete some course work on an independent basis.  The students must have the approval of a faculty sponsor and the director.  The student, with the supervisor, would outline in proposal form the objectives, topics, evaluation mechanisms, and outside source material.  The form must be signed by both student and advisor and submitted to the director.
By arrangement.
