Head Start on Graduate School

Graduate school prepares you for a career as a university faculty member and for advanced positions in industry. You can get a head start on learning to conduct research and selecting your area of graduate specialization by getting involved in research-oriented undergraduate activities. As an undergraduate student, you have the opportunity to participate in summer research internships, performing research under a faculty member's direction.
