Research and Scholarship Intensive Courses

Return to: General Information 

These courses are designed to give students an authentic research or creative experience. In RS courses, students and faculty have a unique opportunity to partner as they merge teaching with the creation of new knowledge. By participating in one of these classes, students are actively involved in a project that is the central focus of the class. Students help define the project, take responsibility for carrying it out, and present the results to a broader audience. These classes are identified on student transcripts with an RS designation. Currently offered RS courses can be found at http://oscar.gmu.edu/students/Students-as-Scholars-Classes.cfm.
