The Ph.D. program focused on managerial leadership in the information professions includes six 3-credit foundation courses. The content of the 3-credit courses is complex and therefore the program curriculum also includes corresponding "modules" of 1-credit each for three of the foundation courses, to provide students with the opportunity to synthesize and integrate what they have learned. The modules are similar to small capstone projects. Instructors for each module assign a project to be completed by students independently or in groups. The project is designed to enable students to pull together the elements they have learned in the corresponding 3-credit course. The nature of the module project is somewhere between that of traditional assignments and the complex, integrated questions the students will see in the Qualifying Examinations.
