RESEARCH PROJECTS

During each academic year, scholars are required to complete a research project with a faculty mentor.  These projects will be developed by scholars and their mentors and should be designed to be mutually beneficial to both of you.

Faculty Research Mentors

Each scholar will be assigned a full-time faculty mentor to oversee and collaborate with scholars in the development of an, at minimum, academic year-long research project.  It is hoped that scholars will continue to work with their mentors for more than just one academic year, however, it isn’t required.

The decisions as to who will be your research mentor and what your project will be are based on your major and areas of interest.  Moreover, you can provide input directly to the program director on who you believe would be a good mentor for you, based on your course work or your own contact with a faculty member.
