Undergraduate Research The University of North Texas recognizes the value of undergraduate research — for students, faculty members and even the institution itself. Undergraduate research is a broad category, encompassing many kinds of activities depending on the student’s major. Certainly it includes a team of scientists working in a laboratory,

but it also includes scholarly work by students in the humanities, social sciences, art and music. While engineering students may undertake a design project, art students may analyze the paint and techniques used in a 200-year old painting. Whatever their major, UNT students will find opportunities to engage in scholarly work specific to their discipline. Whatever their major, your student can become an undergraduate researcher. Moreover, students can begin their research work as early as their freshman year at UNT.
Student Involvement With over 400 student organizations, UNT offers extracurricular experiences for every possible interest. From groups focused on academics, performing arts, sports, culture, religion, service, Greek life and more, students have no shortage of ways to get involved in campus life. Being engaged on campus is more than just making friends and building memories; research shows students who participate in student life outside of class are more academically successful and happier with their overall college experience.
