Your First Steps

Get started in research

Has a professor sparked your interest in a topic during a course? Is there a project or an area of research that you have been dying to explore? If so, you may want to consider research as an undergraduate. Undergraduate research gives you a chance to dig deeper into a discipline with the guidance of a faculty mentor.
