BUS70540 - Research Scholars Community

(3 units)

The purpose of this mandatory intensive course is to offer students a learning experience through face-to-face interaction with students, faculty, and academic staff in a stimulating scholarly environment. The learning experience is a holistic view of the research process and has a high intellectual stimulation which will enable students to be engaged in discourse and activities to enhance their scholarly as well as professional skills and competencies in a unique academic environment with a multicultural and diversity sensitivity. This scholarly-based learning focuses on developing skills and identifying areas for development. Students prepare for the dissertation process and how their scholarly work will be integrated in their professional careers.

In addition to the classroom instruction, the on-ground students are required to get real-world experience through a practicum in an approved organizational setting for 100-160 hours or an applied project designed with the instructor (International students need to meet with their international student advisor for details).
