This program will explore the scholarship qualities involved in being a good teacher. Students develop into scholars by working at group projects in class, by doing internships on and off campus, by carrying out independent research projects and by working on senior projects or honors theses. Our Career Planning and Placement Office informs students of community and business opportunities offering hands-on experiences in their chosen field. They also help students determine potential career interests. Students also develop their scholarship through community outreach activities to public schools and in artistic productions.
Students attend conferences and present their research.
Through extracurricular campus clubs, students develop research and leadership skills in their discipline by organizing and hosting lectures and in other creative avenues. Students participating in ECSU international study programs are required to articulate what they have learned and to develop portfolios of their work abroad. Research Faculty members receive reassigned time for research. Faculty can obtain additional time for scholarship and research activities that are likely to enrich their teaching. Time for additional education or professional leave for attendance at conventions, professional meetings or seminars is available for up to five working days per academic year, as outlined under CSU-AAUP Bargaining Agreement Article 13.8.
