Undergraduate Research Opportunities
Seaver College offers students the exciting opportunity to work on undergraduate research
under the mentorship of their professors. Research 
experiences can take place over the summer or throughout the year. Working under the
guidance of a professor, students investigate topics representing various disciplines
like literature, education, film, and history. Engaging in undergraduate research
helps students to develop their critical thinking skills and gain a deeper understanding
of the research process. Undergraduate research is also a noteworthy addition to students'
resumés and provides invaluable experiences that prepares students for graduate school
and professional work. Students have published their research in prominent journals
and presented at professional conferences. Many have also received awards for their
excellent work. To view a list of past undergraduate research project, click here.
