A critical element of each Ph.D. Seminar is the research project. Students are required to select a research topic related to the course content and write a substantial original research project. Often these projects are connected with the student’s anticipated dissertation topic. The students selected a wide range of research topics and each one wrote a 7,000–9,000 word research paper examining their topic in detail.
