Catalog description

The Advanced Research Methods Seminar prepares students for an in-depth localized exploration of a significant global issue of their choice during their senior International Research and Internship Semester. Working closely with their instructor and peers, students will conduct a comprehensive review of the relevant literature on their global issue and carefully design their own field research proposal, taking into account key elements of research methodology, design and ethics. In addition, students will also survey international organizations working on the global issue of their choice and begin applying for internships at some of these organizations. In order to register for this course, the student must be an active member of the Global College Student Group.
