Appendix II: Readings and Research

The EDCE 6930 (Master’s Level) and EDCE 8930 (Doctoral Level): Readings and Research courses are designed as independent study courses to provide an opportunity for the student to pursue topics related to their interests and field of study. The course may be used to fill in gaps in coursework in the major field of study, to achieve greater depth or breadth, or to explore areas related to one’s career and professional goals. Students must spend a minimum of 3 clock hours weekly for each credit hour taken. The Readings and Research Learning Proposal and Contract form is provided below. To pursue a Readings and Research course, the student should discuss this with their advisor and the faculty with whom they wish to complete the course. The student, in collaboration with the faculty overseeing the course, completes a Research Learning Proposal and Contract signs the form, and submits it to the Program Coordinator for tracking and final approval.
