Student Research Programs

• Student Research
  USD believes that participation in research is a critical element of a student's education. By working closely with faculty, students refine their analytical skills, and apply classroom knowledge to real-world problems.
• SURE
  The SURE program was created to foster student interest in science, enhance student affiliation with scientific disciplines and faculty, and provide financial support for joint student-faculty summer research projects to USD students majoring in Biology, Chemistry, Marine Science, Math/Computer Science, Physics, and Psychology.

• Creative Collaborations Conference
  This annual conference celebrates the intellectual life at USD and provides students an opportunity to present their preliminary and completed research and creative activities in a student-friendly and supportive environment.

• Honors Program
  The Honors Program provides students of superior ability and accomplishment with challenges and opportunities that will allow them to realize their potential more fully. The Program ends with a senior capstone experience: an optional independent study, a thesis, and participation in the Honors Senior Colloquium.
