Research Isn’t Just Lab Research

Pursue your exploratory journey by taking advantage of the undergraduate research opportunities available to all Tigers. Regardless of your academic year, major or interests, as soon as you step on Mizzou’s campus these opportunities become available to you.

Here at Mizzou we shape results by empowering students to apply a forward-thinking mindset to reach their academic success. Participating in Undergraduate Research exposes students to the benefits listed below:

  • Engage with faculty mentors
  • Develop essential career skills
  • Explore academic interests to solidify a career path
  • Have the opportunity to present their research at various level

This door of opportunity opens as soon as students become Tigers. Students are given exposure to an array of research, scholarship and artisanship through hands-on collaboration. Taking advantage of these opportunities launches students into continuous growth both inside and outside the classroom.
