College is a process of discovery, and research is one of the most important parts
of discovering your potential. You can get involved with research as early as your first year on campus. It’s easy.
Just ask your professors about their work and how you can get involved.
Faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences secure over $30 million annually for research, outreach, and educational programs. Explore them here.
The possibilities are endless
Professors in the College of Arts and Sciences have hundreds of research projects
that you can explore, and many involve students in gathering data, making observations,
running experiments and studying results.
On top of that, you might do research as part of a class, or start your unique project
with a student research grant. Here are just a few things you could work on in the College of Arts and Sciences:
Solve a mystery about how the nervous system heals
Make civil rights history come alive with on-campus archives
Explore distant galaxies with modern space telescopes
Examine how a Shakespearean stage changes the theatre experience
See how society functions and how it could change
For the future
Gigi Jones was a freshman when she asked a simple question — How can I get involved
in research? — and now she is working on a much bigger question — How can we make
future nuclear power plants safer? She joined a chemistry lab that is working on new
ways to store nuclear fuel. It opened up new possibilities for her career.
Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
