Senior Level Thesis Seminar

Course Code: CDEV 4005

Academic Year: 2025-2026

This is the first of two courses that will support students in applying and integrating their skills and knowledge to create a capstone community research project. Students will work in groups with a community partner to hone the research focus and research question(s). Student groups will develop a comprehensive research proposal including a literature review, research methods, and ethical considerations in consultation with their community partner. Research proposals will be approved by the faculty. Students will meet in small seminar classes guided by faculty to design, analyze, critique and share their work.
