*restricted to IR Majors and Minors
This program has several options to support student research:
1) Presentation option – Direct research funding to support approved student participation in a conference, workshop or program where students present original International Relations research. The Lieberman Student Research Award will reimburse a portion of or all of the student’s expenses for this purpose.
2) Thesis option – Graduation award of up to $2,000 for approved students who successfully complete a senior thesis.
3) Junior Semester Abroad option – to support travel and research expenses for approved students doing a junior semester abroad, if they conduct original research and write a research paper during that time). The student needs to enlist a professor in the department to supervise the research.
In each case, the student needs to apply to the department in advance to determine eligibility. The awards are competitive and only a few will be awarded in any given year.
