Research is excellent preparation for graduate school or independent work in any research area.
In addition, it can be quite fun. It is a very different form of learning which we hope you have the opportunity to experience. Choosing to do research at Carleton offers a number of advantages. You will have the chance to get to know your professors much better and have the opportunity to work with them before the start of the summer research program to help prepare you for your independent project. Furthermore, if you wish, your research project can be continued as an independent study during the academic year, which can often be a rewarding and fruitful endeavor.
