EVENTS

Sixteenth Sage Graduate School Research Symposium 2008 Symposium
Research is a key component at Sage Graduate School. Current research is integrated into coursework, giving students the skills to critically evaluate pertinent literature. Graduate students also develop skills in research methodology and most conduct independent research. Others are involved in faculty-sponsored research projects. There is funding available for graduate student research. Each year, program directors nominate Broughton Fellows, whose applications for funding to support student research are reviewed by the Graduate School Fellowship Committee. Selected students are provided with stipends from the Broughton Graduate Research Fellowship.
