CURRENT RESEARCH
Reach New Horizons With Research
The College of Arts & Sciences conducts basic, applied and translational research and engages in creative work, providing mentored research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. In doing so, we foster unique and innovative disciplinary, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research, approaches and applications to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), social and behavioral sciences, humanities and simulation sciences. Furthermore, the college serves as a hub for education, research and engagement with government and industry in security and resilience and builds focus areas in fields such as humanistic STEM and data science. We are currently investigators on several National Science Foundation grants, ranging from providing support for online undergraduate researchers to our unique Humanistic STEM project, which blends humanities and STEM content to help build a future workforce with expanded creative thinking and problem-solving skills.
Pushing the Envelope of Possibility
Partnerships That Work for Everyone
At the College of Arts & Sciences, we are proud of our longstanding partnerships with major companies and key government agencies. It’s these vital relationships that help us design our academic programs to meet the challenges that industries face today, and they also drive much of the research we conduct to explore the opportunities of tomorrow. These affiliations, along with faculty members who are still deeply connected to their respective industries, give our students a competitive edge when it comes time to gain hands-on experience, land an internship or launch a career.
