There are many opportunities to pursue independent research projects in Mathematics and/or Computer Science at Denison, both during the summer and the academic year. One or more of these research experiences allows a student to explore in depth research questions that interest him or her. A research experience is also great preparation for graduate studies, which many of our students pursue after graduation.

Our Summer Scholar programs provide funding for students wishing to undertake a 10-week summer research project under the supervision of a faculty mentor. You can view a list below of Mathematics and Computer Science summer scholars to get a better idea about the kinds of projects on which our students have worked.

Occasionally, students will also work with a faculty member under a Denison University Research Foundation (DURF) grant.

A select group of senior students each year undertake a Senior Research Project or an Honors Thesis. These are normally year long research experiences that result in a written thesis and/or software project at the end of the year. You can view a list below of Mathematics and Computer Science honors projects.
