Undergraduate Research


Let Us Help You Get Started

Mission Statement

No matter what your major, Sam Houston State University provides many opportunities to participate in faculty-mentored projects specific to your area of study. We encourage and support you as you begin actively engaging in research, creative activities, and experiencing your own Undergraduate Research moments as early as possible in your academic career.

Research and Creative Activities Defined

Undergraduate research and/or creative activities refers to problem-based learning and encompasses scholarly activities in which students learn the analytical and investigative processes of their discipline in an active manner. This can be an aspect of any discipline as it is an introduction to the culture of learning by doing through self-directed inquiry under the guidance and direct supervision of an expert faculty mentor. Students and their mentors collaborate as partners while exploring topics of interest to them. Thus, students become producers, not only consumers, of knowledge.
