Students can also conduct research with faculty outside their majors. The College of ACES Office of Academic Programs has more information on conducting a research project as an undergraduate student. Other than conducting their own research students also have the opportunity to apply to work in a faculty member's laboratory, assisting faculty and graduate students with their research.
