The opportunity to conduct research as part of a faculty laboratory can be a defining 经验 of your undergraduate education.

Participation in research shows you real-world applications of classroom knowledge and skills, and provides invaluable 经验 whether you want to pursue a career in industry or go on to medical, 兽医, 或者研究生院.

你可以用不同的方式参与研究. 你可能会:

  • 作为研究课程或实习的一部分进行研究, 或者在业余时间参加非正式的教师研究.
  • 申请我们的暑期研究项目. 通常, about a dozen students each receive a stipend of to live on campus for 10 weeks while working with a specific Clark faculty member.
  • 申请 资金 to support your own research on a project of your choice during the academic year or during the summer.

通过与教师研究人员的合作, 你可以获得技能, 经验, 甚至在科学期刊上发表文章.

荣誉项目

The 生物化学与分子生物学 (BCMB) Program offers students who are conducting research the opportunity to present their research publicly in the form of a written thesis and public oral presentation. The work is evaluated by the BCMB faculty and students are recognized with the award of honors, 优异的成绩, 或者最高荣誉, 包括在学生正式成绩单上的成绩.

大多数学生在大三下学期开始荣誉工作, 这种情况会持续到他们的高三.  Thesis submission and the public presentation occur 在春天 of the student’s senior year.
