Undergraduate Research
Overview & Philosophy
Located at the center of one of the nation's premier research institutions, the College of Arts and Science at NYU involves undergraduates whenever possible with this central mission of the University.
We do this by putting our students in direct contact with the distinguished scholars and scientists on our faculty who are advancing the frontiers of knowledge. We do this also by empowering our students to conduct their own inquiries, since we believe that education is not only about transmitting knowledge but also about teaching our students how to learn throughout their lives.
By participating in research projects under faculty supervision, students develop a set of skills which will prepare them for success in any profession or career--the ability to ask the right questions, to develop strategies for answering them, to think critically, to organize data into a coherent interpretation, and to communicate results effectively orally and in writing.
Students who wish to conduct research individually or in collaboration with others can seek funding from the Dean's Undergraduate Research Fund, and can participate in the College's Undergraduate Research Conferences as well as its undergraduate research journal, Inquiry.
