St. Norbert Collaborative: Center for Undergraduate Research

Undergraduate research allows you to work collaboratively with one or more faculty members on real-world scholarly and creative projects. The benefits of such research are great: building your self-confidence, challenging you to dig deeply in important issues, improving your research and communication skills, and providing the potential for professional publications and presentations.

Undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity involve student work guided by a faculty or staff mentor that aims to: generate original insights, reinterpret or apply existing knowledge, create new works.

This work should enrich the discipline and lead to professionally reviewed presentations, exhibitions, publications, or performances.
