COMMRC 1070 - UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH PROSEMINAR


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The Undergraduate research experience opens horizons for students to envision pursuing scholarship as a profession. What does it mean to be a professional scholar? How have such conceptions changed through time, and what might the future hold for those who aspire to a 'life of the mind'? The academic research profession increasingly calls on scholars to explain their work to researchers from other fields, frame their research findings as useful contributions to society, and interact with public audiences. Hence a communication-based perspective provides a useful point of departure for students from the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities alike to explore these opportunities and challenges in a collaborative, interdisciplinary seminar setting.
