Undergraduate research is a way to get research experience before leaving college. As a student you will work closely with a faculty mentor on a shared research project. The research options are almost limitless and the experience is invaluable.
About Undergraduate Research and Scholarship
Anyone can apply to be part of the undergraduate research program, but ideally, a prospective researcher will be entering their junior year, planning on advancing in the sciences after graduation, and have at a B average or better in their science courses. The final decision will be made by the research mentor you choose to work with.
