As part of the required curriculum at MCO, each student must complete a research project
prior to graduation. During this project, students choose an area or topic they would
like to learn more about. Then they select an advisor (oftentimes a faculty member
at MCO) to guide them through the lengthy process with many steps, including:
Design a protocol for the research project
Apply for Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for any project involving gathering
data from human subjects
Data collection & analysis
Writing a research paper of publishable quality
Developing & presenting a scientific poster (much like what is done at professional
meetings/conferences)
The class of 2021's hard work is proudly displayed on this page. Below, you will find
the scientific poster from each project, along with a brief video presentation outlining
the project design, findings, and conclusions.
