ABS 400 Methods of Inquiry in the Behavioral Sciences

Students are introduced to the essential concepts, methods, and tools employed in the research process. In this course, students narrow their topic of interest, expand literature research skills, using multiple search tools and initiate exploratory fieldwork. Emphasis is placed on practical applications of these ideas, providing students the opportunity to learn the methods of social and behavioral science research by conducting small projects of their own design. This course culminates in a construction of a concept for an inquiry project that can be completed in the future/concurrent coursework in the program.
