Child and Adolescent Track students will be required to engage in a systemic course of research that complements that of his or her Faculty Advisor/Mentor. In their first year, students will be paired with a faculty advisor/mentor, who will mentor the student, or research fellow, towards completion of an annual scholarship product that may culminate in their Doctoral Dissertation. Research Clerkship is a two hour weekly seminar designed to support students through this scholarly process and to teach them the scholarly inquiry skills focusing on statistical techniques and research design at both the conceptual and applied levels.
