Completing undergraduate research can be one of the most important and rewarding parts of your college experience. We encourage you to reach out to our faculty about assisting with their research or creative activity or helping you develop your own project. You can also conduct original research as part of your senior thesis project to Graduate with Distinction from the College of Arts and Sciences.
