The Undergraduate Research Program encompasses independent scholarly activity by students in the arts, humanities, and sciences. The program supports students with independent study opportunities in many disciplines, small research/travel grants, and a campus-wide conference for presenting their work.  There are also plans to recognize achievement in independent scholarship with The MCLA Scholar Program which is currently under development.

Students have independent research opportunities in all academic disciplines at MCLA.  Over the past several years, faculty in the departments of Psychology, Biology, Math, and Sociology have sponsored research presented at the MCLA Undergraduate Research Conference.  Seniors in Philosophy present their work in a mini-conference every Spring and many students present their art work in an annual art show in the spring.  These examples just scratch the surface of opportunities to get involved in independent scholarly work at MCLA.  Please explore the above links further to learn more about MCLA's Undergraduate Research Program.
