Under close faculty supervision, the student will design and complete a comprehensive research project including a review of the sociological literature on their topic, development of a research question, and research design, data gathering and data analysis. The student will then report on the results in an appropriately referenced paper suitable for presentation at a professional conference or publication in a sociological journal. Students who complete this course should be ready to begin graduate studies in a sociology program.
