Office of Student Research

Truman provides many different venues for both undergraduate and graduate students to participate in original research, whether classroom based or faculty-directed research projects. There are also several summer research programs

 dedicated to fostering student research such as the McNair Program and the TruScholars Program.  In addition, a student who is research-oriented or who plans to seek advanced training in his or her field may develop a research program which culminates in a research project with professors such as a capstone project. Truman students have published their research findings in national journals, presented at professional conferences, and participated in Truman's annual Student Research Conference.  An article about student research in the Truman Review(1998) can be found at: Undergraduate Research at Truman

"What I like most about Truman is the undergraduate research. I have developed a close relationship with a faculty mentor and have learned research techniques and how to operate equipment that at larger schools is solely reserved for professors."
