The Independent Study Project (ISP) is the cornerstone of the MAS program. Students will be involved in a high-level clinical research projet that integrates what they have learned in their formal course work. The ISP will be an independent and creative scholarly activity in an area related to one or more of the topics covered in the formal curriculum. Students’ work will be evaluated by a committee of faculty, and, in some cases, industry advisors.
