Undergraduate Research
Why Undergraduate Research?
We understand that students who graduate without research experience have not taken full advantage of all that a comprehensive research university has to offer, so OSU leads the way in supporting undergraduate research in all fields of study. Our students who engage in undergraduate research often find their experience to be invaluable in choosing a career path, improving their likelihood of success in the workforce, and in applying for graduate school.

Presenting Research
In addition to scholarship support for undergraduate research, our office also coordinates other programs aimed at enhancing the research experience. Students who have been active in research for at least two semesters can apply for an Undergraduate Research Transcript Designation, present at the annual undergraduate research symposium, or apply for funding to present their research at a conference. Please contact our office for individual guidance and support.
