The Faculty/Student Research Program (FSRP) gives students an opportunity to be involved in faculty research. Students in all fields (e.g. natural sciences, humanities, social sciences, business) can participate. They engage in a variety of activities ranging from relatively routine tasks to more sophisticated research.

There is no cost for the FSRP; the program is open to all students in good academic standing including incoming freshmen. While students do not receive academic credit, they do receive transcript recognition.

To participate in the program, students must identify a faculty sponsor with whom they want to work. This can be done either by talking to individual faculty members directly about their research interests or by consulting the FSRP Directory. The Directory includes information on research projects and any student prerequisites. When a student and faculty member agree to work together, they complete a learning contract that outlines the nature of the research, the tasks involved and the hours to be worked.
