- Individual dissertation research is not eligible.
- Satisfaction of standard course requirements is not eligible, though faculty/student research in an independent study setting is acceptable. If you have questions about the distinction, we would be glad to discuss your project with you.
When you have thought through your project and are ready to submit a proposal, please call or visit the office. We will provide a simple form and a template for application that will include:
