(CRIM 495) 

Students who complete the Research Independent Study course will serve as student interns who engage in hands-on research alongside leading experts and evaluators in criminology and criminal justice. To prepare, students will complete ethical training and a short refresher course on research practices. A total of 156 hours will be spent on tasks including instrument development, subject recruitment, data collection and entry, data analysis, and codebook development. These activities will allow students to expand their knowledge base and advance research in the field. Upon completion of the internship, students will submit an essay detailing their experiences and insights as a Research Intern. Qualified students have access to opportunities in Lincoln and Omaha.  There are two, $500 scholarships for UNL students who complete the Research Independent Studies project.
