Major Undergraduate Research Opportunities Penn State Erie offers its students the opportunity to engage in significant research projects while in their undergraduate studies.
Research requires that the student develop critical thinking and problem solving skills.
Students often comment on how much better they understand what has been taught in the classroom now that they are actually applying their knowledge to answer questions in biology. Students with research experience have a very competitive edge upon graduation whether the student is interested in applying for jobs, graduate schools, or professional schools. There are many research projects that are being conducted by current students, under the guidance and mentorship of our research-oriented faculty. Students who are interested in pursing a research project are encouraged to visit the faculty and discuss the research projects in their respective laboratories. This page last modified 14 Aug 2000 .
