Graduate Research Requirement
All graduate students participate in the development of methods of inquiry and problem solving as planned in their respective curriculums. Curriculum engages students in the study and application of methods of problem identification; the collection, analysis and interpretation of data, and recommendation of problem resolutions relative to their professional disciplines. Examples of these graduate studies include original empirical research, study of and resolution of an organizational performance gap or completion of an applied action research project. Graduate research can also provide a conduit for service learning in that students complete their project to contribute valuable information or problem resolution to an organization or professional interest. See individual program descriptions and curriculums for inclusion of research instruction and practice.
