Imagine graduating with one or more publications on your resume — all thanks to a year spent on-campus in a research lab or a summer immersed in data.
Students here have a rare opportunity to partner with faculty members on research projects, often taking on roles with high levels of responsibility and creativity.
Willamette’s research opportunities help students develop mentorship relationships with faculty, and strengthen potential applications for graduate and/or professional school.
Some decide to continue lab work and pursue grants and internships. Others use research as a springboard to launch a career in the sciences.
No matter the ultimate goal, these opportunities help students determine the next step in their scientific career.
