Scholarly Project

Catalog description

Scholarly project based on an innovative and/or creative study pertinent to nursing or a related area. Students register for a minimum of 3 credits and complete the scholarly project in one calendar year. Students who do not complete the scholarly project in one calendar year must register for 1 additional credit each consecutive term until completion up to a maximum of 6 credits. A research advisor and committee supervise the scholarly project. Students pursuing a thesis program should contact their academic advisor concerning research after completing about one-half of their degree coursework. The advisor will assist the student with the necessary steps (such as preliminary selection of a topic and arranging for the appointment of a committee) to proceed. Enrollment is limited to Graduate level students.
