Undergraduate Enrollment
Hear from our students
“I have been interested in research for as long as I can remember. My favorite classes have always been those where I’ve worked hands-on to solve a problem. I’ve always seen myself working as a scientific researcher. Getting involved in that field as soon as possible is super important so that I can start to develop the necessary skills and gain useful experience to help solve big issues. I joined the Scholarly Inquiry and Research Experience (SIRE) Program, a year-long research program, to help me in that mission, and I am excited to get to work!”
