Undergraduate Research

Students who choose to engage in undergraduate research participation in faculty research projects, including regional, national and international programs. Students have the opportunity to present their research findings at national professional meetings. Many undergraduates complete their research while being employed as part-time student workers in on-campus research programs.

Study Abroad

We offer study abroad programs that will take you to exotic rain forest in Brazil and to the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center, where Dr. Norman Borlaug conducted Nobel Prize winning research. Students may also participate in study abroad programs offered through other university departments.
