ASTRA - Arts and Sciences Teaching and Research Award
To help achieve WMU's goal to be a "Student-Centered, Research University" we involve our students in the research and creative activities of the faculty and encourage students to participate in research and creative activities. Many departments offer undergraduate research courses and there is information available for graduate students and faculty seeking grants.
Approximately 150 undergraduates are engaged in a research experience each semester. Research fellowships are also available in conjunction with the Lee Honors College, Binder Park Zoo, Bronson and Borgess Hospitals and the DNR.
Each year undergraduate researchers from Biological Sciences and Chemistry present their work at the National Undergraduate Research Conference. A number of non-science departments also have student internships and research projects.
