Ongoing Involvement in Research

In addition to the 2 full-time mentored research experiences (3 credits each) in each of the first two summers, students are also expected to be continuously involved in discussing, planning, and conducting research with a mentor and/or research group throughout the entire program. Such ongoing participation in research should begin as soon as the student identifies a research mentor and/or research group to work with and will typically serve as the basis for his/her required presentation each semester at the weekly Research Seminar. Ultimately this ongoing involvement in research will lead to planning and conducting the studies comprising the student’s dissertation.
