APPLIED THESIS COURSE: FINAL COURSE
PROJECT
After
completion of the required core courses for the Diploma
program, students choose the topic of their final
course. This gives students the opportunity to focus in
an area of professional interest. There are now two options
to meet this requirement.
Options:
1) Students may enroll in an elective course related to
an area of personal or professional interest.
Choose from the following list of electives:

2) Students may enroll in the Applied Thesis Course: Under
the supervision of an instructor or mentor,
students develop a career-related proposal that incorporate
concepts and skills learned throughout the program. This
project serves as a measure of the student's ability to
apply theory, research, and clinical skills. Proposals
are evaluated by the instructor for practical relevance
and professionalism.
Get creative in an area of personal or professional interest.
The scope and type of project is up to each student…
develop a workshop, intervention or outreach program,
fundraising project, etc. Here are just a few areas to
choose from:
-Addictions… prevention or recovery support,
-Depression or anxiety disorders
-Intervention planning for victims of abuse or trauma
-Marital enrichment or conflict resolution training,
-Parenting
-Suicide prevention
-Developmental issues for youth, adults, or the elderly
-Loss and grief

The thesis proposal is a valuable addition to graduates'
portfolio of clinical skills, as it reflects current employment
trends in the mental health field. |
