How the MSCC Works
The MSCC primarily operates as a consultative resource, focused on methodological guidance, analytical planning, and interpretation. Scope and expectations are clarified during intake to establish appropriate and sustainable support.
For student-led projects (e.g., dissertations, theses, practica), the MSCC emphasizes mentoring and methodological guidance rather than direct data analytic work. For these projects, the MSCC provides consultative input only and does not perform data cleaning, coding, or statistical analyses.
For faculty-led or externally funded projects (which may include student involvement), limited analytic or methodological contributions may be considered through formal collaboration, contingent on prior agreement and available capacity.
