Student-Faculty Research

The Center for Active Business Education supports student-faculty research by providing a link between a student’s research interest and the Robins School faculty.  A research project is formalized through a one unit independent study course.  The time and level of work requirements of an independent study course are that of a regular course.  This course counts as a general elective.

The Center for Active Business Education maintains a list of faculty members willing to participate in student-faculty research along with their research interests.

A general timeline for participating in a student-faculty research project is the following:

• Meet informally with prospective faculty research partner(s) about ideas and outlet for research
• Agree to guidelines with faculty research partner and register for one unit independent study course (BUAD 389)
• Collaborate, collect data, analyze, write-up research
• Submit research to appropriate journal

Along with the list of participating faculty members, it would be beneficial to read faculty profiles available on the UR website.  Faculty members have final say on whether they want to be involved in a project.

Due to the time is takes to complete research, it is possible that the one unit independent study course not be completed within one semester.  Therefore it is a recommend that you start in fall semester.
