Undergraduate Research
The Office of Undergraduate Research & Fellowships engages students in meaningful and rigorous research experiences, develops undergraduate research skills, and connects undergraduates to faculty-driven or independent research opportunities.
We define research as scholarly or creative activities that lead to the production of original work (Stocks, J. Ramey, J. & Lazarus, B. 2003), either including or independent of faculty guidance.
Though research is often thought of as something confined to our professors and their laboratories, research also happens in English 101, when a student close-reads a novel and develops their own interpretation of a character's motivations. It happens in figure drawing when a spotlight is adjusted and the shadows are studied. With all the lectures, readings, and papers the average undergraduate of Newcomb-Tulane College produces during a given week, it could be well argued that our students are the most prolific researchers on campus!
Research Network
This innovative resource, created by Newcomb-Tulane College and maintained by the Office of Undergraduate Research, provides students and faculty access to a convenient, searchable database of research opportunities across a diverse spectrum of topics ranging from art history, to poetry, to biology, to digital animation, to climate change and beyond.
