South Florida State College seeks to promote deeper learning of subjects beyond regular courses and develop the critical thinking and analytical skills of students through undergraduate research (UGR). This aligns with the mission of the College and helps prepare students for success in research opportunities after transferring to universities or to the workforce. The College offers undergraduate research experiences for students in several disciplines such as natural sciences, humanities, and art. UGR experiences can be done as part of a regular or honors class, or as a separate special topics course in the discipline. We also offer interdisciplinary research opportunities led by faculty from different disciplines. Students develop and implement research ideas guided by a faculty mentor in the discipline. The College also promotes students presenting the results of their research projects at state and national conferences and a collegewide UGR Showcase in the spring term every year. SFSC students have presented at the Florida Collegiate Honors Conference, the Florida Undergraduate Research Conference, the Florida Academy of Sciences Annual Conference, and the National Experimental Biology Conference. |
“Undergraduate research provides students the opportunity to work with mentors and develop skills that pave the way to achieving their future goals. The sky is the limit!” – Dr. Kate Calvin, SFSC chemistry instructor |

We believe that providing authentic research and research-based activities in the first two years of the college experience will better prepare students to be successful in a global economy that demands innovation, collaboration, communication, flexibility, and high-level thinking abilities. – Council on Undergraduate Research |
