The project should include a reflection on the social context, the body of literature, or the conceptual framework to which it is a contribution. It must be shared with the College community through posters, presentations or other means. The project is supervised by a faculty mentor, with the approval of the department chair of the student’s major(s). This course is repeatable for up to a total of eight credit hours.

Prerequisite(s): Coursework in research methods or permission of the mentor; approval of faculty mentor and department chair of the student’s major(s). Consult faculty mentor for project guidelines.
