Student Research Opportunities

Get Involved

Students (from any discipline) can apply to work as research assistants, and honors students can participate in research projects, as well. Students who are too busy to work during the Fall and Spring semesters can take advantage of summer research opportunities and practicum experiences; independent study credit hour opportunities may be available.

College of Nursing students have the opportunity to attend Midwest Nursing Research Society (MNRS) and other local, state and national meetings to attend sessions and present posters.
