POLI 7800 Advanced Directed Study

Advanced Directed Study is a final paper project for eligible second year Master's students. It is a focused and substantial paper, written under the guidance and approval of a supervising faculty member. The project is intended to cultivate expertise in a subject in which the student has formed an interest and has already done some work in. Examples include: further development of a paper from a previous seminar with a case study, primary sources or original research; an extended critical literature review; or, a delegated project in cooperation with a supervising professor's own research.
