Undergraduate Research
Students who participate in research experiences as undergraduates gain a deeper understanding of their disciplines beyond the classroom.
Undergraduate research opportunities include:

- U-RISE@Rowan
- Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs)
- Research for credit
- Volunteer research experiences
- Research internships
- Funded research opportunities
- CSM Student Research Day
Undergraduate researchers work with expert faculty and learn to use cutting-edge laboratory instrumentation in a burgeoning research environment. Many students are first introduced to research in their coursework. Students can then begin research with a faculty mentor that continues over several semesters with increasing levels of responsibility and independence. Students have opportunities to present their results in symposia and even mentor junior students in the laboratory. Our most successful students have attended national conferences and co-authored publications, giving them a competitive edge for internships, graduate admissions, fellowships, and jobs.
