Introduction

Undergraduate research is a great way to show that you have the critical thinking skills and project management experience that will make you an outstanding candidate for graduate school or your next job. You might have your own idea that you want to explore or you might be interested in one of the areas listed below. There are projects and activities for students with different levels of committment, experience, and interest. Dr. Morrey is interested in working with students who will work through the challenges of a project and complete it. Weekly meetings to review and direct research will be required. If you are up to the challenge and looking for a faculty mentor then please contact him to get started on a project that improves the world while teaching you to perform research.

Funding for students to perform research projects is possible through opportunities listed on the website of the UVU Office of Undergraduate Research (see http://www.uvu.edu/undergrad-research/ ). Many opportunities also exist to perform research without funding (i.e. honors program projects, capstone projects).
