Advanced Directed Research in Public Health & Society

1-3 units

This Advanced Directed Research course level is typically taken by juniors or seniors or by advanced freshmen and sophomores. The expectations of a 4000-level directed research project will be greater than those of a 2000 level directed research. Student participation in research activities should include higher-level participation, including completing literature reviews, running complex assays, or similar work. The student is expected to be proficient in the appropriate research techniques of a lab, familiar with relevant literatures surrounding the project, and capable of working with minimal supervision. There should be some form of final evaluation or project, but an independent research project is not necessary. May be taken for 1-3 credit hours, 1-2 recommended. Students must enroll in a specific section with a faculty member and receive approval from the department.
