Research Projects and Independent Study
Many programs allow or require students to participate in research projects and/or courses of independent study. In both instances, these require prior approval by the academic program director and dean of the college, and close supervision by a faculty member. Students should consult with the academic program director about their interest in a research project or independent study, and must obtain the necessary approval before registering for a research project or independent study course.
In research designs proposing to use human subjects, students are required to seek approval from the University’s Human Subject Review Committee before engaging in their research project. For further information, contact the dean of the appropriate college.
