Research

The Ohio State University is a world class research institution, and you have the opportunity to get involved.  Any student with a 3.0 GPA or higher may pursue an undergraduate research opportunity.  Research allows you to make a potential significant contribution to your field.  The Undergraduate Research Office outlines the benefits of research which are educational, personal and professional.  We encourage you to explore their website to learn more about the research process.

How do I get involved?
The Undergraduate Research Office will supply you with the information you need to get involved in research. For tips on how to contact a faculty member regarding research read The Do's and Don't list.

After you establish a research project and a faculty member,  submit a Research Distinction Proposal form to room 210 Kottman Hall.  The Research Distinction Proposal form is due two semesters before graduation.
