Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Public Health

Description:

Provides students an opportunity to synthesize all previous course work and practical experience to generate an evidence-based public health research project. Students will, with the guidance of a faculty mentor, choose a research topic, and by attending periodic workshops and lectures and by submitting intermediate assignments during the duration of the research project, generate a submission-quality research paper and present the results in a seminar. Faculty mentors will provide guidance along each step, and lectures and workshops will provide information on topics such as statistical analysis, scientific writing, literature search, data management, IRB submissions, and presentation skills. The course will culminate in a presentation of the research project by the student at a seminar, and potentially submission of a publication-quality research paper. Prerequisiste: completion of all required courses in the major.
