Undergraduate Research Opportunities

Volunteering/Working in a Campus Lab

There are several laboratories on campus that are run by your professors.  If you are interested in gaining research experience, we encourage you to both (1) review the undergraduate research funding opportunities below and (2) reach out to the professors you are interested in work with through email or visit during office hours to discuss potential opportunities.  The research interests of our faculty can be found on the webpage for each department.
