Undergraduate Research Studies Are Not What Term Papers Once Were
Requirements for undergraduate papers once consisted of maybe 3 or 4 term papers a year with one big research paper. However, undergraduate requirements have changed and the bar has been raised for term papers over the past decade. Qualitative and Quantitative studies are being required at the undergraduate level and serious research results are expected many colleges and universities in the United States. For example, James Bracho received a grant from the National Institute of Health to further his undergraduate research on treatments for drug addiction through medication regimes. Hardly a term paper on the affects of crack. In order to meet requirements for undergraduate research studies, students are having to produce work that was once only required by graduate level programs, a welcome change for pushing American students towards improving educational standards.
At the graduate level, research studies that prove original hypotheses are expected. A study with survey’s or quantitative results must be accomplished in order to complete a Master’s Degree Program. However, students are taking it upon themselves to elevate their educational experience and raise the bar for their peers at the undergraduate level. The benefit of this early research intensive path is to accomplish in-depth results by the time a Master’s Program is completed. Being published in an academic journal before completing a Master’s Program guarantees a student a ticket to any job or any career that he or she wishes.
