Faculty Research Projects
Faculty are awarded an average of about $200,000 per year of external funding for a variety of research projects. Faculty members are remarkably successful in securing SSHRCC funding as well as Canadian International Development Agency projects. Moreover, two professional programs, the National Executive Forum on Public Property and the Executive Seminars on Corporate and Investment Real Estate, also generated research funding on professional practice. Faculty research projects help to create student employment and report/thesis projects. The Table below outlines research projects undertaken by faculty members.
