Undergraduate Research

Think research is just for grad students? Not at NYU. At the latest annual Undergraduate Research Conference, students presented on a wide variety of subjects ranging from identifying molecular mechanisms in Alzheimer's disease to law and entertainment in the age of AI, and American romanticism to the anthropocene.

As an undergraduate, you’ll have opportunities to work with professors on groundbreaking research. You can also conduct your own inquiries with the guidance of a faculty mentor. NYU even publishes student findings in an annual research journal.
