Undergraduate Student Research

Participating in research as an undergraduate student can open up doors and provide opportunities that you never knew existed.

Not only does it look good on a resume, but it can also give you a better idea of what area you want to focus on in graduate school.

By getting involved in research as an undergraduate, one day you could find yourself in Antarctica, in a physics lab working with lasers, or doing any number of other things that lead to new discoveries.

MAPS undergraduate students have shared their experiences with research to give you a better idea of what to expect.
