Students here at Rensselaer are encouraged to participate in the Undergraduate Research Program. There are a huge number of advantages associated with the program:  

• The opportunity to work on a project whose impact could be worldwide and can lead to patents and/or grants;
• The opportunity to interact with some of the most informed and learned professors in the world;
• The opportunity to work with other students on such important projects.

And beyond all of this, you can even receive class credit or a financial stipend during your work!

If you are interested, the first step is to identify a faculty member who is currently working on a project that might interest you. From there, contact him/her and receive more information on that project. If you are still interested, then you can begin your Undergraduate Research experience.

Please note: Important Application Deadlines for credit and funding.
