Undergraduate research, scholarly and creative activities are a great way for you to integrate what you’ve learned in the classroom by applying it to a real-life situation and coming up with an original solution.

At UIS, students work closely with faculty to conduct their own research projects.

How to do an undergraduate research project:

• Talk with your faculty advisor
• Enroll in a research methods course
• Expand a term paper into a thesis
• Apply for an research internship
• Reflect on your art show or music/theater performance
• Present at the annual Student Arts & Research Symposium (StARS)
