Research and Creative Projects

Hands-on research or creative project opportunities with a faculty mentor is a hallmark of the Ursinus experience. 

Our students can engage in high-level research from day one. The quality of the faculty and their close interaction with students offers an opportunity that is typically not experienced until graduate school.

Summer Fellow Biology Summer Fellows Program

For 6 weeks each summer a select group of rising juniors and seniors participate in an intensive research program on campus working one-on-one with a faculty mentor to complete an in-depth project of their choosing. Students accepted into this prestigious program are given a stipend. At the end of the session they present their findings and often they pursue the research throughout the year. Summer Fellows.

COSA Celebration of Student Achievement (CoSA)

CoSA is an all-day campus-wide event engaging the entire campus community in the presentation, discussion and celebration of all forms of intellectual and creative work by students at all levels. Oral presentations, poster presentations, performances, and other displays of student accomplishment are presented, as a single person or in a group; it may stem from work done in a classroom or outside of the classroom (research, internship, student activities or community service). COSA.

Students with a high academic record entering their senior year—above a 3.5 GPA—can pursue Honors by completing significant or original work in their major.
