This course is both a continuation of INST 395 and the culmination of the BS/BA in integrated studies. The purpose of the course is to assist students in designing and completing a research project that integrates the focus and support areas of their integrated studies major. Students will design and implement the components of the research process, including a proposed title, the development of a problem statement and rationale, research questions for investigation, a working hypothesis, and an annotated literature review.

During this course, students in the Bachelor of Individualized Learning program will develop their individual plan for completing the degree. Students will be introduced to the concept of credit for prior learning assessment and develop a portfolio of their past personal and professional learning experiences. At the end of the courses, students are able to submit their portfolio (pay the portfolio fees) for faculty review and possible credit. This course is open to students in other majors (undergraduate or graduate) who want to develop a credit for prior learning portfolio.
