Get involved from the start
Undergraduate students don’t just study research, they do it. Through the Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity, you can join a project, find a mentor, or even lead your own work. Each spring, students present their research, performances, and creative projects at the Undergraduate Research Symposium, a campus-wide celebration of innovation and discovery. At NAU, research is more than an opportunity. It’s a mindset. And you can start the moment you arrive.
