RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES
Research opportunities for undergraduates abound, both on and off the MSU campus.
VENTURE
If you're looking for research experience, a great place to begin is on VENTURE - Michigan State's database of research opportunities for undergraduates. MSU faculty looking for undergraduates to assist them with their research can post information about their project on VENTURE. Selected off-campus and summer research projects are also posted on VENTURE. New projects are constantly being posted on VENTURE, so be sure to check back often.
