Our program serves students who are, or want to be, involved in mentored research, scholarship, and creative activity at Wash. State U.
Research is for Everyone! (Yes, You!)
As an undergraduate student at Washington State University, you're well positioned to participate in academic research. You may have an idea you would like to test. Or have wondered what it would be like to write a play. Or you may already be on a professor's team.
With a faculty member as a mentor, your research will help you build new skills and create new knowledge that are as unique as you are!
What is "research?"
When we say "research," we don't mean just activities conducted in labcoats. It's much broader than that. It's "research, scholarship, and creative activity." And it happens any time you are working with faculty to ...
create,
design, or
discover.
In general, research projects and activities need to have four components ...
mentorship (be supervised by a faculty member)
originality (have a novel component with meaningful contribution from the student)
acceptability (employ techniques or methods that are appropriate for the discipline)
dissemination (have a plan to share the results with the broader field and the community)
To promote, assist, and disseminate research by undergraduates at Wash. State U.
