Undergraduate Research Programs

The Undergraduate Research Symposium is an opportunity for undergraduate students to showcase their research, scholarship, and creative activities to the VSU community. This event has grown tremendously and has proven popular with students and faculty. Cash prizes are awarded to student researchers selected by the judging committee. If you are interested in pursuing a research topic, you may need to approach a faculty member and ask if they would sponsor your research idea. Many student projects start this way. Alternatively, faculty members sometimes ask students to participate in their ongoing research. Some student presenters have been even been recognized by being published in a refereed journal along with their faculty sponsor.
