Undergraduate Research

Undergraduate research opportunities allow students to apply knowledge, skills, and theories learned in the classroom to authentic research efforts. Students use systematic methods to make intellectual contributions to a field and share their research findings via a public presentation.

Examples of undergraduate research include:

• collaborating with a faculty member on a project designed by the student;
• engaging in laboratory or field research;
• engaging in community research; and/or
• utilizing archival data.
