Directed Research

Catalog description

The course will enable students to design a Dissertation Proposal that builds on the previously submitted Concept Paper. During the course, students will further develop and submit an Institutional Review Board (IRB) Proposal. The IRB proposal must receive approval before students can proceed to the Dissertation 3: Research component of their doctoral studies. Throughout the course, students will continue to conduct dissertation related research in preparation for the Dissertation 3: Data Collection and Analysis course. The student will conduct the research for the dissertation in keeping with guidance prescribed by the Institutional Review Board and University policy.
