Why Should I Get Involved in Research or a Creative Project?

Faculty Connection

Case is one of the best research intensive universities in the country. Working with faculty here in research or a creative project, exposes you to the best of the university’s resources: its faculty. The faculty are involved in cutting-edge research, and this allows you, too, to become involved in such projects.

Expansion of Classroom Education

Undergraduate research and creative endeavors allows you to expand upon your learning in the classroom. Students have described how research allows them “hands-on” experience and makes real the theoretical focus of the classroom.

Career Development and Clarification

Participating in undergraduate research or a creative project provides an excellent opportunity to confirm (or not) an undergraduate major selection or to learn if graduate school is a route you would like to take after Case.

Preparation for Senior Capstone

Trying out undergraduate research or a creative project before your senior year provides you an avenue for deciding upon your senior capstone project and actually forming the basis for it.
