There are many skills that are important for STEM and biology, and at Hamline, we learn those in addition to what you cannot learn from a textbook. We learn how to effectively communicate with scientists and the general public about the science that we’re doing.
Opportunities for research outside of the classroom
At Hamline, you'll not only engage in research in the classroom, but you'll also be able to pursue your area of interest in an independent project or as part of our summer collaborative research program.
Present your work locally, regionally, and nationally
From Hamline events to the National Conference on Undergraduate Research, you'll find many opportunities to showcase your research or creative work, further building your career skills and knowledge in your field.
Present at regional and national conferences
Hamline students present their work to the Hamline community, at the state level, and around the country. Hamline is one of the best-represented institutions at the annual National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) and is frequently recognized by the Council on Undergraduate Research as one of the top institutions sending students to this conference. Many departments also support students in presenting their work at scholarly conferences throughout the academic year.
Present your work at Hamline events
Hamline recognizes the research and creative work students do both in their courses and independently, such as those done through a summer collaboration with faculty.
Opportunities for student research from day one
You don't have to wait until you are in graduate school to conduct research. At Hamline, you can conduct research—in and out of the classroom—starting your first year.
