We Go Further To Connect You With Research Opportunities

From discovering a new species of bacteria to uncovering the motivations of an enigmatic Russian poet, undergraduate research at Stonehill – unlike many other colleges – is broad and varied. And you may be able to join one of our most popular research programs ­– the Stonehill Undergraduate Research Experience ­– as soon as the summer after your first year. 

These graduate-level research opportunities take place near and far, from right here on campus to nearby Cape Cod and through mentorships with alumni at the top research hospitals and partnerships with research institutes around the world.

It’s a great way to sharpen your career focus and to gain contacts and experience that will help you after graduating.
