We strive to embed research and creative works in the academic experience of all Adelphi undergraduate students.
How Do I Start?
Students interested in guided research and creative works must obtain a faculty adviser—projects will typically be within your adviser's active research and creative areas.
Opportunities Abound
When you picture research, is it only in a lab? Not at Adelphi. Whatever your passion—history, dance, business, literature—and yes, science, you can explore it.
At Adelphi, research is not just for faculty or graduate students—right from the start, undergraduate students are encouraged to dive into projects that broaden their scholarly horizons.
Conducting research as an undergraduate student at Adelphi is a rewarding opportunity—you’ll expand on what you’ve learned in the classroom, explore your passions, and gain from the experience of our brilliant and supportive faculty. You’ll also build valuable experiences that shine on your résumé and graduate school applications.

Why Engage in Research and Creative Work as an Undergraduate Student?
Generate new knowledge, think critically and outside of the box, and fine-tune your collaborative and communication skills. Instead of learning facts and content that others have discovered for you, doing research allows you to apply the knowledge and skills from your classes to discover new information yourself and advance your field. While it can be demanding, research can be an amazingly fulfilling and transforming intellectual and personal experience.
Engaging in a hands-on creative inquiry with Adelphi faculty who are experts in their field will refine your professional interests and establish a relationship with your mentor that often lasts beyond your undergraduate years.
Thinking about embarking on a research or creative works project? Get in touch with us at ourc@adelphi.edu or stop by our office at Levermore Hall, Room 303.
