Student Research
Academic Year Research
There are many opportunities for Denison students to do research, enabling students to expand their training outside of the classroom. Normally, senior research requires a major thesis, report or project in the student's field of concentration and carries eight semester-hours of credit for the year.
For more information, including poster instructions, please visit the Gilpatrick Center Channel on MyDenison.
Young Scholars Summer Research
The Summer Scholar Program permits students to pursue full-time collaborative work with faculty members, or independent research under the close supervision of faculty members, for a minimum of ten weeks during the summer. This program provides students a unique undergraduate venue in which to experiment with ideas and artistic expression, pursue an intellectual passion, and focus intently on the resolution of a question over a sustained period of time.
For sample proposals, funding information, and local resources for summer students, please visit the Gilpatrick Center Channel on MyDenison.
