Hey everyone, I’m really interested in getting involved in research as an undergrad and I was looking at Saint Anselm College. Does anyone know if they have good research opportunities for students, especially in the sciences? I’m thinking about majoring in bio, but I’m not locked in yet.
Saint Anselm College has a very student-centric approach to undergraduate research, particularly in the sciences. They emphasize hands-on learning, and you'll find opportunities to work closely with faculty members on research projects. For example, their INBRE program, funded by the NIH, specifically supports students in biomedical research.
Also, look into the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship, which allows students to engage in full-time research with a stipend. If bio is your potential major, you'll likely find faculty members whose research interests align with yours.
Be proactive about reaching out to professors to express your interest in research; this can help you secure a spot in a lab early on. Remember, getting involved in these experiences can significantly enhance your education and can be a focal point for grad school applications or your resume.
