The seminar provides an overview of research designs and methods across disciplines. Provides presentation and discussion of these methods and strategies in how to select and use them, discusses IRB procedures, and includes guest presentations from faculty across the campus. This course is not meant as a comprehensive methodological training, but rather an overview that should be complemented with at least one specialized methods courses to be selected from a university wide list of courses in the first semester of study, and two others in the second semester of study.
