Utah State University was recently recognized as a national leader in research programs for undergraduates.
Undergrads at USU have many different opportunities to take part in research projects that go along with their majors and interests.
“I got the opportunity to work in Dr. Fernanda Batistel s lab at Utah State University with the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences and her main research focus was on the nutrition of dairy cows, said Gonzalez. In our research, we would focus on feeding fat to dairy cows.”
Research can be anything from an experiment in a lab, to a paper for class. According to Alexa Sand, Associate Vice President for Research at USU, 60 percent of majors require students to take part in some sort of research. Outside of the classroom, Sand said that about 27% of students are doing research.
