Get Involved in Research!

A multitude of possibilities exist for students to conduct research at Rocky Mountain College, not just for students who are interested in the Sciences! No matter your major, you may be able to pursue your interests and greatly enhance your educational experience by becoming involved in a research project. You will have the opportunity to work hands-on outside of the classroom with a faculty member who is an expert in your field of study. You will have the opportunity to develop your creativity, critical thinking abilities, and problem-solving capacity. Graduate school admission committees and potential employers agree… conducting an undergraduate research project is one of the best resume-building experiences that a student can undertake.
