There are many opportunities for your student to get involved in undergraduate research, and in many cases research can be completed for course credit and it can fulfill major requirements. We encourage our students to contact faculty members in their major to discuss their interest in participating in research.
The research in which faculty are engaged is normally listed on the department’s or school’s websites, within the individual faculty member’s listing. See https://science.ucf.edu for all of our department/school websites.
In addition, UCF has many resources for students interested in research. The Office of Undergraduate Research provides many opportunities for research engagement, and the UCF’s Honors College has a program for Honors Undergraduate Thesis that includes structured research engagement.
