Graduate Research

Research is essential for your master's or doctoral studies. Graduate students actively contribute to the A&S research enterprise, offering valuable insights and technical expertise to labs and offices.

Each department in A&S has diverse research specializations. We encourage you to explore faculty profiles and reach out to express your interest and ask questions. Below are select examples of what current graduate students are involved in.
