Applied Studies courses are conducted on an individual basis. Each course experience is designed and delivered by two faculty members (the Applied Studies coordinator and a disciplinary expert), a workplace supervisor, and the student. Students express their interest in a paid or volunteer work experience and develop a research proposal linking the practical work and proposed research question. Students also propose this research question to a faculty member whose discipline aligns with the proposal. The student consults and collaborates with both the faculty member and the applied studies coordinator to design course
learning outcomes and a research assignment.
