Research Project

A research project is similar, but more specialized and usually more advanced than a tutorial, requiring greater independence and originality on the part of the student. Students conduct scholarly research with a view to producing substantial work in the form of a term paper or report. Among recent projects undertaken were studies involving:

  • Genetic Links to Schizophrenia
  • Cuban-Latin American Trade Relations
  • American Indian History
  • Change in NFL Player Contracts (1975 - 2000)

Juniors and seniors are eligible to undertake research projects. A maximum of four research project course credits is allowed toward graduation, no more than two in a semester and no more than three in a year.
