Research
As an undergraduate at a leading national research university, you will have the opportunity to do more than observe research solutions. You will experience knowledge creation through collaborative partnerships with faculty mentors and peers, and through experiential learning opportunities in hospitals, laboratories, and corporations around the world.
Northeastern undergraduate researchers present their findings in scholarly journals, at global academic conferences and colloquia, and at Northeastern's own annual Research & Scholarship Expo.
Undergraduates can gain funding for their projects, including grants and stipends, through the Provost's Office and the Honors program.
The research environment at Northeastern is highly interdisciplinary and use-inspired, with a focus on solving global challenges in health, security, and sustainability. The University has special research expertise in network science, biotechnology and drug discovery, nanotechnology, renewable energy, subsurface sensing and imaging, explosives detection, information security, and urban public policy focused on health, housing, and economic development.
