GCU has a total of five core qualitative research designs that are able to be used for students’ dissertations. The designs that have been approved are qualitative descriptive design, case study design, narrative inquiry, and phenomenology design. These designs has the ability to guide the research in the direction that is need in the hopes of answering questions that the study is meant to solve. Qualitative design methods are used to gather in depth understanding of experiences told from the ones with perspectives or experiences in the area of study (Moriarty, 2011). When using qualitative descriptive design, the data collection tool that works well with the design is interviews. Interviews allows the research to get more information from a topic that does not have a lot of information presented in previous studies. Case study design works well with a number of data collection tools like interviews, observation, and journals. Case study design is used to gather in depth information, using multiple sources of data can help in the efforts. Phenomenology design is used when wanting to know real world information. Using semi- structured interviews works will with this design because it is allowing the participants to lead the research. Narrative Inquiry design is used to tell a store. For this reason, interviews with opened ended questions would be the best fit for this design.   Moriarty, J. (2011). Qualitative methods overview. https://eprints.lse.ac.uk/41199
