Unlimited Research Opportunities

As part of the University's mission, students are encouraged to take advantage of the University's excellent faculty-student ratio and conducive research environment to learn through true hands-on opportunities. For Duquesne students, these research opportunities have paid off in top national honors such as Fulbright, Goldwater and Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation scholarships.

Most student research starts with a professor and a particular interest in a project, but the Office of Research and Innovation staff can provide additional guidance, especially for those heading into national and international competitions and conferences. See how students learn from and inspire others in each of Duquesne's schools.

Opportunities to present

Participating at a conference is a great way to gain experience presenting your research or scholarship and helps to prepare you for academia and beyond. The Undergraduate Research and Scholarship Symposium, URSS, provides DU undergraduates the opportunity to share their research and other forms of scholarship with faculty, peers, and the local community. The URSS encourages undergraduates from all areas of study to engage in research opportunities early-on in their academic career
