Research Opportunities for A&S Students
Central to our mission as a research university is to train both undergraduate and graduate students in the rigorous process of inquiry and analysis that results in meaningful discovery. The best way to acquire solid research skills is through original, hands-on research experience under the guidance of faculty mentors. To promote and fund student research on all levels, A&S offers a number of research grants, scholarships, and research-enriched learning opportunities.
Community Impact & Engagement
By conducting community-based research, A&S faculty are addressing the most pressing challenges to the health, education, and economic vitality of South Florida. But this “local” research has a broader impact: insight into such topics as the economic and cultural effects of population migration, the preservation of wetland species diversity, or the history of race and colonialism in world literature deepen our understanding of the world and point to solutions to our shared challenges. Learn more about the impact of A&S scholarship through the Office of Civic and Community Engagement.
