Student Research

At bet365 withdraw, students have no shortage of opportunities to make original intellectual and creative contributions to their disciplines through undergraduate research and faculty-mentored projects.

College research opportunities at Oxy

Whether it’s testing a scientific hypothesis, composing a new piece of music or observing human subjects, a hallmark of the Oxy experience is opportunities for students to engage in research—often at a level typically reserved for graduate students. Undergraduate research lets you do a deep dive into a topic that fascinates you, collaborate directly with a faculty mentor, and develop skills that will prepare you for graduate or professional work. Students from all disciplines are encouraged to do research, whether on campus, in the diverse settings of Los Angeles, or around the world.

Our research centers and hubs

’s Undergraduate Research Center (URC) provides resources for creative endeavors and original projects on- and off-campus, in all disciplines. You may apply to conduct research of your own design or join a faculty research team through URC’s annual Summer Research Program. The Anderson Center for Environmental Sciences is an interdisciplinary group of research-driven faculty, staff and students whose goals are studying Earth’s environment, solving environmental problems and developing the next generation of environmental scientists. The Genomics Center is a collaborative hub for studying DNA, facilitating professional research and training Oxy students in cutting-edge genomic techniques, equipment and analysis.

Mentorship and support is available

Many Oxy students conduct directed research as part of their senior comps project. You’ll also have access to a range of academic support services plus access to faculty who are committed to mentoring students.

“My first year, I had the opportunity to be a research assistant under Profs. Lopez and Harris, where I explored the role of education in reducing recidivism. That summer, I became an independent researcher through the Summer Research Program, working with Prof. Mora on trade interdependence. I continued my research at the International Fund for Agricultural Development, conducting impact assessments on developing projects and creating an asset index.”

“The fact that Oxy is not a ‘research institution’ is actually a huge benefit for you. The opportunities saved for graduate students and postdocs at larger universities are available to you here. Learn about your professors’ research and reach out to them if you are at all interested in their work!”
