UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH PROGRAMS
Research experience is essential preparation for Case graduate programs in biomedical science. If your campus supports
undergraduate research, look into research opportunities during the year like a senior honor's thesis, or a summer
research program with a faculty member. Undergraduates at Case can learn about research opportunities by contacting the
undergraduate advisors for each department.
The
SOURCE office (Support of
Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors) will be a central resource for assisting and preparing Case
students to engage in research. Students may apply
to summer research programs like:
