EXPERIENCES Research Projects At Missouri Western, your opportunities to engage in research start early in your undergraduate studies. You work beside your professors on real research projects, something other schools reserve for graduate students. Each semester you will have the opportunity to present your projects at the Multidisciplinary Research Day, where you can share your results with a vast audience. This event also provides a chance for you to explore research in a variety of disciplines. You can choose to participate in research over the fall, spring or summer semesters, and some positions are paid!
