Undergraduate Research Lab

what is the undergraduate research lab?

The Undergraduate Research Lab is where all students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in academic research and experience a high-impact practice that takes their skills to the next level. Our lab provides a graduate-level experience for undergraduates, including the opportunity to present at  academic symposiums. We particularly welcome first-generation, minoritized, and transfer-undergraduates who aspire to acquire critical skills for graduate school and explore the real-life applications of interdisciplinary/cross-disciplinary research.
