UW-Eau Claire undergraduate students have the unusual opportunity to work collaboratively with faculty on original research ranging from sciences to business to creative projects in the arts. Each year more than 800 students strengthen their liberal arts education by taking part in challenging research with faculty who provide guidance, direction and support.

Designated as the
UW System Center of Excellence for Faculty and Undergraduate Student Research Collaboration,
UW-Eau Claire sends approximately 150 students each year to professional conferences to present their research. In addition, many student researchers get the chance to publish in journals, meet experts and pursue their research through internships and off-campus study.

It’s these kinds of hands-on learning experiences that help students develop intensive knowledge on a particular issue in their field and give them a competitive edge upon graduation.
