UNDERGRAD RESEARCH
Why Undergraduate Research?
Getting Published
Getting Published includes a list of campus-wide and nationwide journals and magazines devoted to undergraduate work. These are not the same places where professors publish, but they provide outlets for students to share their work with a much larger audience. In addition to the prestige gained from being a published author, an undergraduate student who publishes his or her work sharpens writing skills, learns about the process of revision, and builds a better resume. Employers and graduate schools recognize that it takes a strong commitment to get a project published.
Get inspired: browse your area of study to see what other undergraduates are researching and writing about. See what publications might be the right place for you to publish your masterpieces.
