UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH
Undergraduates can unlock their full potential by diving into the world of scholarly research! Students can see a research project all the way through from beginning to end: curious students propose their own exciting project, incorporate their coursework into topics that spark their passion, ask thought-provoking questions, experiment with hypotheses, and showcase their findings to a wider academic audience. Not only will they strengthen their individual skills, but they’ll also have the opportunity to collaborate with fellow students, fostering their teamwork and interpersonal skills.
With guidance from knowledgeable faculty members who serve as mentors and role models, students learn to refine their research and bring it to the next level. And the best part? There are ample funds available for both undergraduate and graduate students to take their research to new heights and present their work at conferences.
