Undergraduate Research

The Department of Biology encourages all students to become involved in research projects supervised by faculty members. These activities expand your undergraduate experience. Each year, employers and professional schools review hundreds of transcripts filled with outstanding grades. Experience gained through direct involvement in research can provide a competitive edge. Participation in research provides solid evidence that an individual is experienced at specific tasks and capable of working on a team. Course credit is offered for independent research. 

 

It is easy to find a research advisor. Examine our faculty page to find an area of research that interests you, and don't hesitate to contact the faculty member about opportunities. It is not necessary for you to major in Biology degrees to conduct research with a faculty member. Many of our students also conduct research with life sciences faculty across campus.
