Integration Elective Choose 1 of 11
All cadets minoring in network science must complete a one-semester independent study project that satisfies the four modules outlined in the minor's learning outcomes. Specifically, these modules are (1) the formulation of a research question, (2) the formulation and implementation of a research design, (3) the presentation of results from completed research, and (4) the completion of a reflection paper describing the cadet's experience in the minor. See the description of the minor for additional information on these modules. The Director of the West Point Network Science Center and Chair of Network Science will validate-in writing-the Cadet's plan to complete the four modules in accordance with the spirit of Network Science program guidance.
