Undergraduate Research: Make Your Mark
We believe in the power of undergraduate student research. Our students have the opportunity to work closely with faculty members on diverse projects. This invaluable experience not only sets you apart in the eyes of industry professionals but also opens doors to graduate school opportunities. Plus, selected students are awarded summer research funds to further enhance their skills.
Student Organizations
Our student organizations provide a supportive environment where you can make lifelong friendships and collaborate on projects that make a difference. No matter your level of interest or experience, there's a place for you.
