Undergraduate research Undergraduate research is one of the cornerstones of K-State’s mission to become a top 50 public research university by 2025. Undergraduate research is an excellent way to enhance your college experience. Opportunities exist across many academic programs to conduct independent research or to partner with a faculty member on a larger research project. Research program examples Cancer Research Awards — Students are selected to participate as part of a research team to learn about cancer, the scientific method, technical approaches and the critical analysis of results. Trauma Research, Education and Consultation at K-State Team — This team develops research programs and provides education and clinical consultation regarding trauma and traumatic stress. Developing Scholars Program — Students are chosen to work as research assistants for K-State faculty. The program provides academic, social and financial support to historically underrepresented students. McNair Scholars Program — This program is designed to prepare undergraduate students for successful careers as graduate students, professors and professional researchers. University Honors Program Students participating in the honors program have the opportunity to develop a research project with a faculty member. Work on this project is conducted during the junior or senior year. “ The Developing Scholars Program made a huge difference in my undergraduate education. Because of my research experience and the encouragement of my mentor, I was accepted to graduate school. The program was the key to my success.” Isaac Falcon, graduate student in human ecology Honors program project examples Examining the negative effects of action figures on males.
