本科研究

Engaging students as researchers is a hallmark of a Xavier DSBS education.

DSBS professors are committed to developing scholars and leaders through undergraduate research. 研究 gives DSBS graduates a competitive edge in applying to and succeeding in graduate school. It shows employers that students have valuable critical thinking, collaboration, and writing skills. 最后, undergraduate research distinguishes students as thinkers and leaders in their chosen field, 准备好参加社交活动, 知识, 以及他们这一代的技术难题.

在只有10到15名学生的特殊班级, our majors learn to conduct research in their respective disciplines. 学生 may then use this foundation to work with a faculty mentor to develop their own research, 与其他学生和教师合作, 或者去做拿薪水的本科生研究人员. In addition to opportunities to collaborate with faculty at Xavier, 比如通过McNair和构建项目, students may participate in summer research programs at other universities through the MARC and RISE programs, or even internationally through the Tulane-Xavier MHIRT program.

Numerous programs and offices support undergraduate researchers at Xavier, and DSBS faculty are at the forefront of these initiatives. 在过去十年中, DSBS faculty has secured more than $3 million in funds to support undergraduate researchers.

In the ever-evolving landscape of scientific exploration and innovation, one fundamental principle stands tall: diversity drives progress. 在科学领域, 技术, 工程, 和数学(STEM), inclusion isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the cornerstone upon which groundbreaking discoveries are built. Institutions like Xavier University have played a pivotal role in pushing progress forward by actively engaging and empowering Black students in STEM, fostering a community where all voices are valued and heard. 证明了这种动力, several Xavier students recently participated in the Annual Biomedical 研究 Conference for Minoritized Scientists (ABRCMS). This prestigious research conference allows students who may come from marginalized communities to present their findings on a national level.
