Undergraduate Research
Undergraduate research can be conducted in any field of study. Opportunities for presentation, publication and writing a thesis are available to all Ohio State students involved in research. Students who engage in undergraduate research through STEP are encouraged to consult with their college regarding requirements to graduate with research distinction. Students interested in writing a research thesis should discuss this with their faculty research advisor and their academic or major advisor. Explore project examples and reflections.
