Students across the College have the option of working with our faculty on research – for some majors, it’s an integral part of your program, and every department has independent study courses available for credit.

Faculty Research and Labs

Research is an integral part of all of our academic departments in the College of Health Sciences. Our faculty are working with cutting-edge equipment to solve real-world health problems. Many faculty seek undergraduate students to assist them with their labs and in their research.
