Build experience that sets you apart
Whether you study controlling invasive species on campus with an autonomous robot or travel to Cyprus to study sea turtles, our research and creative activities offer the experiences and connections to get you where you want to go.
On-Campus Research Opportunities
Want more time in the lab, field, or library? Spend a summer on campus as a Research Assistant, working alongside a faculty member. Projects span a range of disciplines – from biology to art history – and funding covers room and board.
Recently, our students have taken a deep dive into helping control invasive bush honeysuckle with a robot that targets specific species of plants with a specific herbicide. Students have supported the production of a new play – including building sets, acting, and stage management – and coded and translated 2-D graphics into 3-D visuals that demonstrate physics and mathematics principles.
Off-Campus Research Experiences for Undergraduates
Spend a summer using laser technology in chemical experiments, conducting tree research to prove (or disprove) a seismic theory, or working to enhance the nation's cybersecurity. We actively support off-campus research opportunities; STEM students considering graduate school can apply for paid summer research opportunities funded through the National Science Foundation.
