Description/Abstract
The College of Arts and Sciences has incorporated undergraduate research as an offering in its curriculum for students majoring in biology, chemistry, psychology, mathematics and computer sciences. Students carry out research with faculty for credit or are paid hourly wages. Barry provides a nurturing environment which motivates student researchers: faculty provide close one-on-one mentoring in the research labs; dedicated personnel identify students’ needs and execute activities to meet those needs; and the research resource room allows students and faculty a feeling of belonging and community.
