KENNESAW, Ga. | May 1, 2017

The COTA Special Edition of the Kennesaw Journal of Undergraduate Research (KJUR) welcomes articles and reviews that meet the criteria for undergraduate research. 

The definition of undergraduate research is: “An inquiry or investigation conducted by an undergraduate student that makes an original intellectual or creative contribution to the discipline (cur.org).”

Undergraduate arts research and scholarship includes: traditional papers (manuscripts) in each COTA discipline; musical scores; video art and video documentaries/narratives/histories/choreography; graphic novels; audio files; digital photo files.  Non-manuscript submissions must be coupled with a theoretical contextualization of the project and an artistic statement.

Manuscripts authored by a single student or by a team of students will be considered.
Please be sure to include your faculty advisor, necessary for the application process.
