The Applied Sciences are heavily research-based. A list of faculty members interested in working with undergraduates is available from the Curriculum office and should be secured by students prior to interviewing with faculty about research projects. Academic credit for research can be achieved through registration in APPL 99 .
Most students begin research in the spring semester of their junior year.
Many research advisors require a minimum commitment of two or three semesters of research. There is no limit to the number of times that APPL 99 may be taken. It repeatedly counts as an elective toward graduation requirements. Permission to register is a two-part procedure. The student must visit individual faculty who are potential supervisors.
