Supervised Research
Investigate, test and study your big questions under the supervision of a faculty mentor. Your faculty mentors become partners in the co-creation of knowledge as you conduct original research, review literature, collect data, document results and present your findings. Whether it’s a new interpretation of an old artifact, or a new application for a chemical compound, our students and faculty are actively engaged in cooperative research.
Original Student Research
In many academic areas across campus, original student research, supervised by faculty, is an integral piece of the curriculum. From performing rhetorical analysis on media artifacts to conducting experiments in the lab, our students have the opportunity to put theory into practice, and many of these research opportunities are available as early as your first year!
Though research in every academic area will look different, you'll be able to explore your passions in the context of an academic framework.
Summer Research
Working alongside faculty mentors, you'll develop sophisticated research skills and, later, present your findings, where you are joined by fellow students, faculty and staff members, and your friends and families. You'll also be encouraged to pursue further opportunities to share your work, such as submitting a paper to a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal or to an academic conference.
