IND 299 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric 5-1 Final Project
Milestone Three: Coursework and Concentration
Overview
For this milestone you will focus on Concentration and Coursework.
In Milestone Two, you considered enduring skills that are related
to your prior or planned learning, how you can utilize or develop
those skills in a concentration, and how that might contribute to
your goal statement.
For this milestone, you will focus on your chosen concentration(s)
and coursework. Part of this will include your use of the recommended
pathway that you began exploring in the previous modules to help you
determine the courses you need or have already taken that count
toward your concentration. Another part of this will involve working
with your advisor to ensure accuracy of your pathway and to identify
all of the courses that you have previously taken as well as those
you need to take in order to graduate. This will also involve
researching the value of your concentration in support of your goals.
In what way will the concentration you choose benefit them? What
challenges might someone in that field face and how does your
degree/concentration prepare you to overcome them?
Prompt
In this milestone, you will select the concentration for your
academic plan of study, as well as plan out the remaining coursework
for your degree program.
NOTE: All students are expected to review the academic
catalog for prerequisite courses that are required as part of their
program. All courses and their prerequisites must be program
applicable for financial aid purposes. Please check with your advisor
if you have questions about this.
Write a short paper that addresses the following critical
elements:
Concentration: To
complete this section, you will need to choose a concentration in
the BA.GST program using the provided
list and then research what knowledge, skills, and abilities you
will need to complete this concentration.
Defend the
concentration you have chosen based on how it will help you achieve
your personal or professional goals. Be sure to reference the
knowledge you plan to gain in the concentration.
Back up your assertions with
research that supports your concentration choice
and be sure to provide citations for any sources you consult.
Coursework: In
this section, you will think about your enduring skills and your
concentration in relation to your goal, and you will plan out the
coursework for your entire degree program. This should be a specific
and detailed outline of the number of credits needed, the courses
needed at each level (200-level, 300-level, etc.), the courses you
have already completed, and so on.
Provide an organized list of your
degree requirements and your completed and planned
coursework. Be sure to organize courses according to your program
evaluation.
Provide a brief annotation (one to two
sentences) of each listed course, illustrating why the course is
applicable to your personal or professional goals.
What to Submit
Your paper should be a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document
written in APA format. Use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman
font, and one-inch margins.
