The Office of Undergraduate Research

Welcome to the database of research opportunities for undergraduates compiled by the Office of Undergraduate Research. Included here are a wide range of potential research experiences, including those connected with particular courses, volunteer positions, paid positions, and mentored scholarship that can lead to an undergraduate thesis. The postings include project descriptions, links to web sites with additional information, and contact information. The faculty who posted these opportunities have specified appropriate student majors for these positions.

If you wish to browse all currently available opportunities, choose "All majors" in the drop-down list below. If instead you wish to restrict your search to opportunities appropriate for your major or minor field of study, select one particular field from the list.

Alternatively, you can type in a single case-sensitive keyword, and all opportunities that contain the word in either the title, advisor, supervisor, or description fields will be displayed.

We believe that this database is an exciting new resource to allow students to identify research projects that match their interests. If you decide to contact one or more of these faculty, try to show that you have read and thought about the information they provided. Most faculty will also expect you to include some information about yourself in your initial inquiry, so you might want to include a resume.
