Student Benefits
Students who pursue research during their undergraduate career benefit from the opportunities many institutions only offer at a graduate or doctoral level. Conducting research encourages problem-solving skills and personal inquiry, enhances hands-on involvement within a discipline or major, and teaches a variety of skills that cannot be taught from a textbook.
Opportunity to Present
Student applications to present at the 2020 National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) are now being accepted!

NCUR 2020 Application Deadline: 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 18, 2019
Advisor Benefits
All student research is closely mentored by an academic advisor within their major discipline. An advisor's one-on-one attention provides guidance to young researchers as they moved through the process of planning, research, and getting their work published. This close relationship is often a point of pride for an advisor, or mentor, which bears witness to a young researcher's progress as they move from a promising student to a published researcher.
