UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH

Undergraduate Research is research students conduct with a faculty mentor's help. Research can be done in various ways in any scholarly or creative discipline.

Student research is promoted through several programs, including:

• The Undergraduate Research Fellowship program: students have the opportunity to work with faculty mentors to conduct research while getting paid to do so
• The Annual Celebration of Student Scholarship showcases the research, scholarly, and other creative activities of all faculty-mentored student projects.
• Posters at the Capitol is another great opportunity for students to present their research.
• Enhanced institutional memberships in the Council for Undergraduate Research (CUR) and the Kentucky Academy of Science (KAS) provides free individual memberships to all interested faculty, staff, and students.
• There is a travel fund to help provide support for students presenting their scholarly works at professional meetings.
• We provide a free large-format poster printing service for all students presenting their scholarly work at on- and off-campus professional meetings.

Undergraduate Research and MSU faculty members are committed to providing students with high-quality research and creative opportunities.
