Catalog The University Undergraduate Research Research has long been an important University activity, but traditionally it has been limited to faculty members and graduate students. Since 1980, undergraduate students have had increasing opportunities to do research through apprenticeships with University faculty researchers in the Undergraduate Research Program, in independent-study projects, and for the Honors Degree or Degree with Distinction thesis. Information on all aspects of undergraduate research may be obtained from the Undergraduate Research Office in the University Honors Program. Students have the opportunity to apply knowledge attained through course work to research or education projects, to environmental teaching, or to public relations assignments.
Application is made through the student's major department.
