Overview
SOCI 425 is designed for advanced students to pursue an extended research project under the direction of the course professor. The research is based on the collection of secondary data sources through library research and other documentary methods. Students will be expected to develop a comprehensive background knowledge in the topic of their choice resulting in a major discussion paper and comprehensive bibliography.
