CUSP-GX 900X Guided Studies

1-3 Credits

Students may engage in independent original research under the supervision of a CUSP or CUSP-affiliated faculty member. Students must come up with an original research topic under the direction of their faculty mentor and write a five-page research proposal that includes a description of and rationale for the study, and potential methodology, a brief literature review, and anticipated deliverables. The proposal must be submitted to the academic adviser for approval.

Independent studies are by department consent only. Students must submit a five-page written proposal for review that is approved by a CUSP or CUSP-affiliated faculty mentor and then by the department. The proposal must include a description of original research, rationale for the study, anticipated research methods, brief literature review, and description of deliverables (typically a 30-50 page paper). Students are expected to spend about 3 to 6 hours a week on assigned projects for their study.
