Analytical Report

Students will complete a final written project that integrates content from Higher Education courses with practice. A final version of the report will be submitted to GSOE and evaluated by faculty in the Higher Education area.

It is anticipated that, when there is sufficient demand, some courses will be offered during a summer session. This will include specialized courses and program core courses.
