Student Research Opportunities
at Truman State University

Truman provides many different venues for both undergraduate and graduate
students to participate in original research, whether classroom based or
faculty-directed research projects. There are also several summer research
programs
dedicated to fostering student research such as the McNair Program and STEP.
In addition, a student who is research-oriented or who plans to seek advanced
training in his or her field may develop a research program which culminates in
a research project with professors such as a capstone project. Truman students
have published their research findings in national journals, presented at
professional conferences, and participated in Truman's annual Student Research
Conference. An article about student research in the Truman Review
(1998) can be found at:

"What I like most about Truman is the undergraduate research. I have
developed a close relationship with a faculty mentor and have learned research
techniques and how to operate equipment that at larger schools is solely
reserved for professors."
