theoretical and empirical research skills, and is characterized by four
distinctive elements that enhance the traditional model. These are: a
commitment to practical relevance; an emphasis on producing quality
teachers; a research apprenticeship requirement; and interdisciplinary
research. *We have achieved 100% placement of students who have graduated
