The student will select a faculty adviser to chair a faculty committee of two members for the evaluation of the report. An oral presentation on the written capstone report will be used as a final examination.</li>Capstone Process<li> Students are encouraged to contact faculty as early as possible to identify a faculty whose research focus complements the student's interest. The student and the mentor should select one additional faculty members to serve on the capstone evaluation committee. Students must submit a signed Capstone Committee and Capstone Topic form to the Program Coordinator for approval as soon as the registration for the course is complete. These forms must be submitted to the Program Office. When the student is ready to defend the Capstone project, the student must register for the capstone course (MCB 6026) for three credit hours. It is important that the student register for the capstone course with the intention of completing the project at the end of the semester.</li> Capstone Report<li> Evaluation of the capstone project requires a written report (in the format of a mini-review manuscript) and a presentation (project defense) in front of the capstone committee. Students may ask for advice and guidance from the project mentor/chair. The average capstone report ranges from 10 to 15 single-spaced pages in a manuscript format with proper citations. The student's Committee Chair will be responsible for checking the report for plagiarism using iThenticate before the report is shared with the committee. The committee must receive the report at least one week before the time of presentation.</li> Capstone Defense<li>Note: The defense (presentation) must be held no later than one week before the final exam week. The capstone defense and comprehensive exam evaluation is designed to assess the student's knowledge and understanding of the project and other relevant subjects in the field. Questions asked by the capstone committee to evaluate the student as competent in the field will satisfy the requirement of the comprehensive exam. The oral presentation will take place in the form of a 30-40 minute seminar and will be followed by questions and discussion. The student will be evaluated on performance in all three sections (written report, oral presentation, and ability to answer questions). Should the student fail, a second opportunity will be provided within two weeks of the first attempt. A second failure will result in an Unsatisfactory (U) grade in the course and dismissal from the program.</li></ul></li></ul><h3>Comprehensive Exam</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Students must pass an oral comprehensive exam to qualify for the Master of Science. The oral comprehensive exam tests the student's understanding of the basic concepts in the field and relevant applications. The comprehensive exam will be conducted during the capstone defense and will be administered by the capstone committee. Should the student fail this exam, a second opportunity will be provided within two weeks of the first attempt. A second failure will result in dismissal from the program.</li></ul><h3>Independent Learning</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> In the final semester of study, nonthesis students will complete a capstone course that requires an in-depth current literature research report on a relevant subject, which will serve as the independent learning experience. The student will select a faculty adviser to chair a faculty committee of two members for evaluation of the report.</li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>33</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><h2>Application Deadlines</h2><h2>Financial Information</h2><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through loans or other financial aid.

This degree provides Association of Child Life Professionals (ACLP) pre-approved courses needed for Child Life Certification after graduation.</span></p> <br /> <h3>Admission Requirements</h3> <ul> <li>Complete the University General Education requirements or its equivalent, i.e. an AA degree from an approved Florida College System or State University System institution.</li> <li>Have a minimum 2.75 overall GPA, with provisional acceptance for one semester if GPA is 2.5 (GPA must be 2.75 by the second semester).</li> <li>Complete Child Development Common Program Prerequisite courses with a minimum letter grade of "C" (2.0) or better.</li> <li>Meet the State Writing and Math Requirement.</li> <li>Meet Foreign Language Admission Requirement.</li> </ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Certification Disclosure:</strong> Completion of the UCF BS ECDE Child Life Track does not immediately result in the Certified Child Life Specialist (CCLS) credential. Individuals seeking certification must meet specific academic and clinical experience requirements in addition to passing the Child Life Professional Certification Exam. While courses in this program count toward the educational requirements for becoming eligible to take the examination, completion of this program will not, in itself, result in Child Life certification.
