Scholarly Paper

6 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

The undergraduate scholarly paper - plus two courses - option in Global Health provides an alternative course of study for students who cannot be placed abroad due to exceptional circumstances. To graduate with this option, a student must complete all requirements for the major in Global Health, enroll in the 6 credit GLOH 3940 course, and enroll in two additional 3 credit courses. Additional courses should be senior level 3 credit courses (3000 and above), preferably related to the topic of the scholarly paper, and subject to approval by the Department. The senior scholarly paper comprises 6 credits. Students should expect to spend about 18 hours a week on it, mostly in self-directed study. Students will produce a scoping literature review and secondary study and present this project to the class and faculty.
