Finding a position in a lab can be challenging, especially for undergraduates. There are more students interested in acquiring a research experience than there are research experiences available. Another way to gain research experience is by taking classes that incorporate research into the curriculum. Listed in these pages are research-inclusive courses offered at ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ.<\/p>\n
