Student Research

Ornate door

Whether in the lab, the field, studio, or countries abroad, St. Edward’s students are advancing knowledge, innovation, and practice in their areas of study to uncover life-changing solutions.

The St. Edward’s academic experience focuses on integrated experiential learning, particularly internships and undergraduate research, to prepare every student for post-graduation opportunities. Each year, our students collaborate with their peers, faculty mentors, and community partners on solutions-driven research, scholarship and creative work projects that ignite their spirit of discovery and innovation.

Engaging in undergraduate research enables students to pursue their interests, tackle some of the world’s most pressing problems, refine their critical thinking skills, and make meaningful contributions to knowledge within their fields of study. There are many benefits to participating in a research project or creative work during your time at St. Edward’s.

Our students have delved into such projects as tracking the health of bee colonies, studying water quality, finding solutions to address food insecurity, and showcasing academic and creative in student-led journals and publications.
