A directed research course is a course created when an individual student (or a very small group of students) wishes to explore a topic not currently offered as a graduate course. The student is responsible for finding a faculty member who is willing to supervise the student(s); together they will create the learning goals, deliverables, resources, timeline, and mechanism for feedback. The supervising faculty member must have a Graduate Faculty (SGS) Appointment through the Graduate Department of Public Health Sciences.
