Students who participate in collaborative research work with a faculty member on a research project of mutual interest. Research projects are presented and judged at the university's annual Student Research Day. Many students receive independent study credit for their experience.
Faculty/student collaborative research is a great learning experience. You’ll learn more about your academic discipline and how to do academic research–an experience especially beneficial if you are considering graduate school. You’ll also develop interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills.

UW-Eau Claire is the UW System Center of Excellence for student/faculty undergraduate research
