Undergraduate Research
Faculty Research and Interests
The faculty members in our department are active in research and have a variety of academic interests. Several faculty members are currently mentoring students interested in undergraduate research related to their own fields of study. The Undergraduate Research Program offers Undergraduate Research Fellowships where faculty can get a grant for a student to assist with current research.
