What is research?

Research can take many forms. Have you:

  • Looked up which doctor to go to?
  • Looked at which college or university to attend?
  • Shopped for the best car deal? 
  • Looked at a weather app to determine if you need to wear a sweatshirt or bring an umbrella with you?

These are all types of research that you take part in every day. The information you gain from your research helps you make medical decisions, financial decisions, and all sorts of other decisions that guide your life. Research is all about discovery and problem-solving. 

We are here to help you build the research skills you already possess and help you enter the world of academic research, or scholarship.
