HIED 698: Advanced Qualitative Research

An intensive analysis of the theory and practice of qualitative research in Higher Education, including a review of primary methods such as grounded theory, case study, and phenomenology and an examination of additional methods such as connoisseurship, ethnomethodology, and symbolic interactionism. Emphasis will be placed upon practice in research design, multiple methods of data collection, and exhaustive data analysis.

HIED 595: Research Methodologies

Provides a study of research methodologies with appropriate practical application in relevant problem solving. Specific research types, including action research, will be emphasized. The student is required to demonstrate his or her competence in the investigation and formal reporting of a problem.

HIED 622: Internship

Provides supervised experiences in a setting appropriate to the student's projected career aspirations and areas of specialization. HIED 622 immerses graduate students into an institutional setting, so they may experience the day-to-day operations (e.g., administrative, instructional, political) of a college or university organization. The course allows students to serve as an intern for a full-time administrator, instructional leader, or faculty member, and it requires the establishment of specific goals, objectives, activities, and tasks. Interns receive an end-of-course evaluation from their field supervisors, an effort that serves as a key component of the final course grade.
