At 西雅图 Pacific, you can work alongside faculty in diverse areas, both in 伊顿大厅 而在 布莱克岛 Field Station. 你可以退房 examples of student projects conducted with faculty at SPU. Students who do research at SPU over the summer have the opportunity to participate in the SPU Summer Research Program.
SPU外, students have conducted research at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, the University of Washington School of Medicine, the Prostate Cancer Research Center, 亚利桑那州梅奥诊所, and other institutions.
An important aspect of research is communicating results to others, both through oral presentations and through writing. You’ll have many opportunities to present your research to others, including at the annual Erickson Undergraduate Research Conference 在西雅图州立大学 Murdock College Science Research Conference, and regional and national discipline-specific conferences.
If you would like to pursue research, the earlier you get started, the better. At SPU, look at posters around 伊顿大厅 to see examples of research students have done in the past. Talk with faculty about their research, and decide what projects pique your interest. To find research opportunities outside SPU, explore the Undergraduate Research: Internships page to discover a wide variety of research opportunities in 西雅图 and beyond. Many of these opportunities have late fall/early winter deadlines for summer research.
