What is Undergraduate Research?

We are living in an increasingly complex world that requires us all to develop a broad skill-set that includes the ability to critically assess and analyze information. These skills help us to solve real-world problems, whether at university, in the workplace, in graduate school, or even in our personal lives (Repko, Szostak, & Buchberger, 2017).

Undergraduate research helps students to develop these skills in a variety of ways. The following activities will allow you to DISCOVER what undergraduate research means to you.
