Directed Research

Catalog description

*Students must apply via a Directed Research Agreement. The Directed Research course is designed to provide opportunities for students to engage in faculty supervised research over the course of a semester of study. Students enrolling in the course will work under the guidance of a faculty mentor on a research or scholarly project. Students enrolling in Directed Research are expected to be actively involved in the execution of the research or scholarly activity. Assessment of progress will be based on project milestones that the student and faculty mentor mutually agree to prior to the start of the course project. Students enrolling in the course will gain knowledge and appreciation of relevant medical science literature, responsible conduct of research, as well as the process by which scientific knowledge is generated, critically evaluated, and disseminated. Curricular Year Three Course syllabi, which are available on the College’s website, provide an expanded description of each course.
