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 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.
