This course provides graduate students with structured guidance to develop a behavior-analytic research-thesis or capstone-project proposal. Students will explore the distinction between the thesis and capstone pathways, select a project topic, secure a thesis advisor and project committee, and develop a formal project proposal. Emphasis is placed on identifying research questions derived from the behavior-analytic literature through a comprehensive literature review, designing methods based on behavior analysis, and crafting a clear, actionable plan. By the end of the course, students will have a completed proposal, and they will have secured approval from their committee to implement the project.
