EXPANDING STUDENT-FACULTY RESEARCH

One of the advantages of a Smith education is the intentional design of numerous opportunities for undergraduates to conduct research with a faculty member in the arts, humanities, science, and engineering.

Students develop projects as a result of work in classes or to pursue, in an intensive and structured way, a long-term academic interest. STRIDE scholarships provide selected students with research opportunities for their first two years at Smith and include a stipend for their work with faculty.

Whatever the basis for the work, the level of achievement is frequently on a par with graduate school study and provides the student, at an early stage of her learning, with a sense of the demands and realities of her discipline and advanced studies.

Examples of student-faculty research in several disciplines are described in the annual Collaborations Day proceedings.
