Undergraduate research
You don't have to wait until graduate school to work on research.
Undergraduate research opportunities exist throughout the college and University. Project examples include academic and behavioral interventions for children with disabilities, development of beginning secondary science teachers, sport fan motivations of intercollegiate women’s and men’s hockey game attendees, and mental health needs and services of southeast Asians in Minnesota.
