CAS Undergraduate Research

No matter what your major is within the University of New England College of Arts and Sciences, you can participate in undergraduate research projects that engage you in the process of creating new knowledge in your field.

The tabs above will help you explore opportunities to work with faculty on projects in the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities. You will find information to help you identify potential research projects and to pursue funding for your research.

You will also learn about your fellow undergraduate students’ publications and presentations related to the research they are conducting.

We encourage you to explore these pages, talk to your department faculty, and challenge yourself to discover new knowledge and ideas through an undergraduate research project.
