You will learn the same curriculum as our on-campus students
This class is designed to introduce you to logic of research design and the major methods used to conduct research in the fields of emergency management and homeland security. Throughout this semester, we will explore a number of the facets of this topic, including the process of research, how to conduct a literature review and develop an addressable research question, data collection and measurement, and a number of the key tools used to conduct social science research. Students will explore the research design process from both qualitative and quantitative points of view, including the data, access, and safety challenges unique to research in emergency management and homeland security contexts. Over the course of the semester, we will work to imbue you with the requisite knowledge to proceed in your subsequent methodological courses and to begin to address the product you are responsible for prior to graduation, be that a thesis or practicum.
