Student Research

The School of Arts and Sciences is committed to fostering a culture of discovery where students are empowered to explore, question, and innovate. From undergraduate projects that introduce students to the fundamentals of scholarly inquiry, to graduate theses that advance knowledge within and across disciplines, student research lies at the heart of our academic mission. Through mentorship, experiential learning and participation in initiatives such as the Undergraduate Research and Discovery (URaD) program, our students gain the skills, creativity and confidence to contribute meaningful solutions to local and global challenges.
