UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH & STUDENT EXPERIENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES

At DU, students have opportunities to extend their learning beyond the classroom through faculty-mentored research and creative projects. Last academic year alone, 696 undergraduate students contributed to research projects. This includes numerous examples of students collaborating as research assistants on faculty-led projects, as well as a growing number of students who are conducting their own research to advance new knowledge.

When students are empowered to take the driver’s seat in pursuit of projects that are fueled by their own ideas, passions, and desire to address real-world challenges, they can imagine new possibilities for themselves, their communities, and their world.

As an extension of DU’s deep commitment to the teacher-scholar model, we are expanding our commitment to student-driven, faculty-mentored research and creative projects, which we call Undergraduate Research and Signature Work.
