Mission of the Research Experience
The purpose of this experience is to encourage faculty mentorship of talented undergraduate students in the design and execution of high-quality research projects. Students will:
- Explore academic and career interests through faculty and graduate student mentorship.
- Choose projects representing all areas of study, including humanities, sciences, engineering, business, and social sciences. Students can also choose to engage in research outside of their declared field of study.
- Join an established research project or team with the ability to collect and analyze data, co-author, present findings at conferences, and make other important contributions.
- Gain hands-on knowledge and application of research principles, a competitive and tangible asset for graduate and professional school applications, and an attractive skillset for future employers.
