MICS Student Research

Student research involves the methodical formation of a scholarly honors project. The goal of this project and its process is to prepare students for the world of post-baccalaureate scholarship and research. Students work closely with a department faculty mentor to develop a project on a topic of their choosing. The research culminates in students making a presentation of their findings at a conference during the spring semester. In preparation for the presentation, students are coached through the various stages of conducting a research project and transforming their work into a scholarly presentation and paper. The Department of Mathematical, Information and Computer Sciences strongly supports its research students. Faculty mentors are involved in the research, editing, and presentation processes, all while offering advice and support for advisees.
