Explore project directions

Choose a field. Learn its methods. Build something defensible.

See how a student can frame a question, choose field-appropriate methods, work with real evidence, and turn the result into a paper, analysis, prototype, or presentation.

Real-world project directions

Different fields. Different methods. One standard: evidence.

These representative scenarios show the substance of the work—not fictional student stories. Exact questions and scope depend on preparation, data access, ethics, feasibility, and mentor fit.

From analysis to explanation: students learn to present and defend the reasoning behind their work.
01

Research Program

Research Methods in Biomedicine

Investigate a focused biological or health question using scientific literature and suitable public, de-identified data.
Sample investigation

Which molecular or clinical features are associated with treatment response in a public cancer dataset?

Methods students practice
  • Literature review
  • Cohort and variable definition
  • Data cleaning
  • Statistics or machine learning
  • Bias, ethics, and limitations
Possible capstone

A reproducible analysis notebook, research report, figures, and scientific poster.

02

Research Program

Research Methods in Finance

Evaluate a market or business hypothesis with historical public data and explicit controls for common analytical errors.
Sample investigation

Does a simple momentum signal remain stable across market regimes after transaction costs?

Methods students practice
  • Hypothesis definition
  • Time-series data
  • Backtesting
  • Leakage and bias checks
  • Risk and robustness metrics
Possible capstone

An analytical report, documented code, data visualizations, and a presentation of findings and limits.

03

Founder Studio

AI for Business

Identify a real workflow problem and test whether an AI-assisted solution improves speed, quality, or user experience.
Sample investigation

Can an AI intake assistant help a small service business route customer requests more accurately?

Methods students practice
  • User interviews
  • Workflow mapping
  • Prototype design
  • Evaluation rubric
  • Cost and feasibility analysis
Possible capstone

A problem brief, working prototype or MVP, test evidence, business case, and pitch demonstration.

Across every field

Students show how they know—not only what they made.

  1. 01

    Frame a focused question or define a real problem.

  2. 02

    Select methods that fit the field and available evidence.

  3. 03

    Document decisions, revisions, tests, and limitations.

  4. 04

    Produce a capstone the student can explain and defend.

What question or problem would you pursue?

Apply with a defined idea or a broad area of interest. Feasibility and mentor fit are reviewed before a project begins.
