Undergraduate Research
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
We offer several opportunities to have your research and creative work published. Many of our students graduate as authors. From literary journals to newspapers and blogs, we encourage you to take the opportunity to share your work with fellow academics, artists, and the public.
English Research Opportunities
You can register for our independent study or undergraduate research courses, which provide opportunities to complete a research project with the guidance of a faculty mentor. Ask your academic advisor for more information.
Our faculty enjoy sharing their research with students. If you're curious about a professor's area of research, ask about pursuing a collaborative project. Or, invite a professor to mentor you while pursuing your own ideas.
In the University Honors Program, you will complete a thesis to fulfill requirements for the “in Honors” or “Honors Baccalaureate” degrees. It is an excellent opportunity to develop and demonstrate your knowledge and to prepare for graduate study or careers requiring advanced research skills.
Presenting Your Research
The English Department provides opportunities for our students to experience the excitement of presenting their work in public forums. Our students showcase their work locally, regionally, and even nationally.
