Partisanship and policy in the modern presidency. British fashion of the 1960s. Marital conflict and the link to social functioning in children. The impact of foreign aid on Ugandan democratization. The effect of teacher salaries on student achievement in public schools. The non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
A list of recent doctoral dissertations? No. Rather, these are just a handful of the topics investigated by Notre Dame undergraduates during the past year through the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP), which connects students who have a sophisticated idea for an independent research project with the funds to fuel their passion. Allowing more students to reap the benefits of active, hands-on learning is a key goal of the College of Arts and Letters - and an important goal of the Spirit of Notre Dame campaign.
