Undergraduate Students
Research experiences can take place in laboratories, libraries, art and music studios, museums, outdoors, and in the community. All disciplines, such as the humanities, arts, sciences, technical, business, and education engage in scholarly activity - with the goal of creating new knowledge or developing new examples of human expression.
At FHSU, undergraduate research takes many forms, but the unifying concept is collaborative faculty-student work on a scholarly project with the goal of developing generalizable peer-reviewed work as a final product. Please be sure to connect with your academic department to learn more about discipline specific opportunities.
