本科研究

This type of scholarship is just one of the high-impact practices 资本 uses to improve student learning, contribute to the body of knowledge and prepare students for the next step they want to take.

把自己放在前面

Examine the copper toxicity of fish in Ohio lakes and rivers. Travel to the Bahamas to study oceanography. Explore the interaction of music and physics in the natural world.

We know that getting involved in original research as an undergraduate can put you lightyears ahead of the competition when it comes to graduate school. That’s why you’ll find opportunities for undergraduate research projects in just about every field or major we offer.

尝试新事物

In high school it often seems you spend all your time learning about what others have done. 但是在威尼斯人平台, we encourage you to conduct new research that adds to the world’s knowledge in valuable ways. We’re talking about work that’s never been done before. Through papers and even presentations at local, regional and national conferences, you’ll share your findings with members of the scientific community and add to the body of work that advances your field into the future.

展示你的发现

Our students regularly present at regional and national academic meetings, including the National Conference on 本科研究, the American Psychological Society or the Midwest Regional Fish and Wildlife Conference. 资本 even presents its own annual 本科研讨会 on Scholarship each year to highlight students’ research accomplishments. We highlight literary arts work of our students and others in 威尼斯人平台’s ReCap magazine.

常见问题

Can I do 本科研究 with another student? 不止一个?

Students may work with other students on scholarship projects. If a student is earning credit for these experiences (e.g., as an Independent Study or Honors Capstone), each student’s contribution must be clearly distinguished and articulate in the scholarship proposal.

Is Undergraduate research considered credit-bearing learning at 资本?

There are a variety of ways that students can obtain credit for completing undergraduate scholarship. Scholarship projects may be part of an existing course. Students may enroll in an Independent Study for credit. The number of credits earned depends on the amount of work that a student completes. Enrolling in an Independent Study requires prior approval of a faculty member.

How do I go about finding a faculty mentor in my major/department? Are there specific faculty members who provide mentoring?

Students may identify a faculty mentor based on their areas of interest, perhaps sparked by something they learn in a class. Students may talk to their course instructors, their academic advisor or their department chair if they need help identifying a mentor for a project that they might be interested in.
