Carthage places a major emphasis on undergraduate research.

As a Carthage student, you will be challenged to perform original research early and often, under the close guidance of your professors.

Research is built into every student’s experience:

• Research serves as the foundation for entire academic courses.
• Students have access to equipment often reserved for graduate students at other institutions.
• All students must complete a senior thesis in order to graduate. This may be a research project, research paper, art exhibit, major performance, portfolio, or other project.
• The Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) offers students in all disciplines paid summer research positions with faculty mentors.

Maybe you will spend a summer building a satellite, adapting a novel into a new play, piloting a college-prep program for high school students, designing a rocket payload, or studying the effects of acute stress on rats.

Students selected for the SURE program live on campus, earn a stipend, and gain invaluable experience in their chosen fields.

“I love working in Straz among fellow physics undergrads and professors," said Ashley Marquette '17, who spent a summer building a CubeSatellite.

"It feels like I am really doing something more with my college experience.”
