Mentored Research
Get Started!
- Start early in your degree - maybe in your sophomore or junior year (many faculty will not bring on seniors into their research labs).
- Carefully study the faculty research members and their research areas. Click on the different links to explore the different professors and their research interests.
- Choose a few faculty members whose research seems most appealing to you.
- Be proactive in investing time in studying the faculty’s research, journal articles, etc., and be prepared to ask questions and comment on his/her research.
- Contact the faculty member via email for more information about opportunities in thier lab and schedule a time to meet them. If they don't respond to an email/phone call, drop by their office!
- Many times, you will begin as a volunteer until you have gained enough experience to merit credit/pay.
- Once you have sufficient experience, you will be eligible for research credit (494R), for every 1 credit you wish to earn please plan on spending at least 3 hours per week. You also can work towards funding for research projects (for example: URSCA, TEELS, etc. and SAC)
