Undergraduate Research Mentor

Catalog description

The Undergraduate Research Mentorship connects talented students interested in conducting academic research with faculty. This course, available to students from across the College, gives students the opportunity to share the intellectual excitement of inquiry into new questions, the solving of scholarly and creative problems, and the creation of knowledge with faculty mentors. Students learn research and scholarly techniques as they assist faculty practitioners in their academic and integrative disciplines, gaining valuable experience in pursuit of professional fields or higher academic degrees. Prior to the project semester, the supervising faculty and student must submit a joint proposal outlining the project. This is an Honors course and in addition to any pre-requisites, students need a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or greater to register.
