Undergraduate Research Program
The Undergraduate Research Program encompasses independent scholarly activity by students in the arts, humanities, and sciences. Driven by the many opportunities for interaction between students and faculty, undergraduate research at MCLA has expanded dramatically in recent years. The program supports students with independent study opportunities in many disciplines, small research/travel grants, and a dynamic campus-wide conference for presenting their work.
Beyond the campus, MCLA is a proud member of COPLAC, the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges. In October 2012, MCLA students joined with peers from other schools in the Northeast to present at the regional COPLAC Undergraduate Research Conference, held at Eastern Connecticut State University. This year, MCLA will host the conference.
In addition to these opportunities, MCLA students also participate in the Massachusetts Statewide Undergraduate Research Conference, held each year in Amherst, and the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR); in April, twelve MCLA students presented their work at NCUR 2013, hosted by the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
