Yes. Funding is available for students who present at conferences. The Hubbard Center and some departments also maintain small pools of funding for students who wish to attend a conference without presenting. See听the funding section of this website for more details.听

You might be thinking research is restricted to upperclassman. It's not! As a 色狐入口 undergraduate, you may do research at any point听during your time here. Some projects are better suited to different times during your education, but it鈥檚 not always obvious from the outside. Don鈥檛 rule anything out without having conversations with mentors and advisers.

Yes. While programs like the听expanded听Science Research Fellows听program provide a scaffolded pathway to help students develop research skills, you may want to get involved in research without completing a full fellows or associates program.

Research opportunities like summer research or winter term research teach 色狐入口 undergraduates how to manage an independent research timeline, troubleshoot methodological challenges and produce original work under deadline. These are critical skills for graduate programs.听

No! Even though working in a science laboratory is the example of research that comes to mind for most people,听undergraduate research can be done in any discipline including the humanities. You should consider what your interests are and investigate options in the most likely areas. You can reach out to faculty members in your major or to faculty and staff across campus to work on interdisciplinary projects.

No! You may do research in any area. For many students, their deepest interests lie in their major, and thus it is most common for students to do research in their major. However, as a liberal arts school, we encourage students to explore and synthesize multiple areas of interest.

Yes. Students work with faculty members during both the academic year and the summer.听 During the academic year, progress on the project will likely be slower since both faculty and students have obligations to their course work. There is also limited funding available for students who work on projects during the summer. Some students combine academic-year and summer work for even deeper engagement.

Yes. In many cases, students can earn .25 - 1 course credits for research projects during the academic year; however, in those cases you should talk with your faculty sponsor and academic advisor to ensure that you're not over-enrolled for the semester. For summer research, students can apply for Extended Studies credit.

The opportunity for students to work collaboratively with faculty members on research, scholarly, and creative activities is a valuable component of a liberal arts education. Whenever possible, 色狐入口 seeks to provide either academic credit or monetary compensation to students who engage in these activities. There are times, however, when a student is eager to pursue an opportunity for more informal collaboration for which neither credit nor funding is available. Although 色狐入口 generally discourages these "voluntary" activities, exceptions may be made where possible, with approval from the Office of Academic Affairs, which will consult with Human Resources and Risk Management. Approval of voluntary collaboration between students and faculty members during the summer does not grant students access to University housing.

"They challenged me in a way that would really help me to think. And the presentation went really well. I'm learning a lot from other people.鈥澨� Amerti Guta听 '23

Yes. It is important that you check the IRB website to determine whether your project requires approval from the IRB. This committee can also provide you with additional support for your research design, if you wish. However, concern about IRB approval should not prevent you from trying to identify research opportunities.The IRB process is something that is often worked through in collaboration with your faculty mentor.
