How To Get Started In Undergraduate Research

Who can participate?

Anyone with an interest or desire! You need not be majoring in a given subject to participate, although an introductory class in that subject could be helpful.

How do I get started?

Talk to professors about the research they are involved in and work with them (Begin to read the literature regarding their research or field).

If you have a research interest of your own, present it to a faculty member who could act as your mentor.

Look and listen for announcements from faculty members seeking students on bulletin boards, in classes, at seminars, and through the "grapevine".
