Many of the faculty in the Department of Biological Sciences maintain active research
programs. These research projects will not be completed successfully without the involvement
of interested students. Research participation may involve general laboratory maintenance
and/or active participation in primary research experimentation. Students with a real
desire to experience science in action and gain valuable work experience are encouraged
to seek out professors in the department to inquire about opportunities. Even if one
faculty member may not need assistance at a particular time, they will be able to
direct you to others that may be able to help.
The Department of Biological Sciences encourages students at all levels to become
involved with research. Hands-on training in the laboratory with one-on-one contact
with research faculty is a very valuable experience for undergraduate students. Most
faculty members actively work in the laboratories and not just at their desks. Research
opportunities are available year-round. Both field and bench experiences are offered.
Many projects develop into an authorship on a paper published in a scientific journal
or a presentation at a scientific conference.
In order to enroll for undergraduate research, you must identify a faculty mentor and work with them to complete an abstract that defines your project.
