Student Research

Undergraduate scholarship allows students to participate in active learning to pursue intellectual interests under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Benefits to the undergraduate student engaged in such a project include stimulation of creative thinking, a better understanding of their discipline, development of research skills, enhancement of communication skills, an opportunity to participate in new discoveries, and preparation for graduate school. Students who participate in scholarly activities gain confidence and are able to function more independently through taking responsibility for a portion of their own learning process.

NSU Undergraduate Research Day

Each Spring NSU provides a way for students to display their current research at the NSU Undergraduate Research Day. Festivities are highlighted by an awards ceremony to honor outstanding student projects. All students who would like to be considered for participation in Undergraduate Research Day must complete an application form. A panel of judges representing the four undergraduate colleges will screen applications.

For more information on NSU Undergraduate Research Day, contact Dr. Julie Sawyer, Associate Professor, Mathematics at x3083.

Oklahoma Research Day

NSU also participates in the regional Oklahoma Research Day held each fall.
