Conducting research is an important part of the college and graduate school experience, offering many benefits which include:
- Fostering critical thinking and analytical skills through hands-on learning
- Defining academic, career, and personal interests
- Expanding knowledge and understanding of a chosen field outside of the classroom
- Developing one-on-one connections with distinguished faculty in their field
- Building community with peers, faculty, and organizations on- and off-campus
All research and scholarship, whether funded or unfunded, that involves humans must be approved by the institutional review board (IRB) prior to the initial recruitment of subjects and data collection.
Accessability
At Georgia Southern University, we believe that all students should have equal technology opportunities in the classroom. The following list includes technologies that may appear in Georgia Southern courses and the accessibility information for each of those technologies.
