Graduate Research
Research is a key part of your master's or doctoral course of study. Graduate students play an integral role in the A&S research enterprise, bringing valuable insight and technical expertise to their respective lab or office. Typically each department has various research specializations. To find your best fit, read the profiles of the faculty in your department of interest. Then, reach out to the faculty member whose area of expertise aligns with your own. Below are additional resources for you, and examples of what current graduates students are involved in.
