Undergraduate Research

Participation in undergraduate research provides students hands-on experiences that allow the application of classroom knowledge to real-world situations. Opportunities for participation in undergraduate research are open for students in all majors and at all levels of experience. 

Students can take advantage of attending a leading research university by participating in faculty-mentored research, scholarship, or creative activity; study abroad; and internship opportunities. By optimizing these opportunities students are able to build a competitive resume that will prepare them for graduate or professional school, national and international awards, and to enter the workforce.
