Venture is a new on-line initiative that is still being refined. Please let us know how we can improve the site by filling out our short survey.
What is it?
Venture is a database of undergraduate research, scholarship and creative opportunities available to MSU undergraduate students. In nearly every college across campus, academically talented students are performing research and undertaking creative activities, either independently with a faculty mentor or in faculty-led teams. These opportunities represent one way for students to become more engaged in their education. Venture connects students to these opportunities and provides an avenue for student engagement in original investigation, experimentation and creative activity across many fields of study ranging from art to zoology.
Why is it important?
As one of the nation's leading research institutions, we offer a breadth of options that actively involve students in research early in their education. By providing unique instructional opportunities, MSU ensures that students have a wide range of choices for intellectual inquiry and practical learning.
Simply stated, students learn better when they are engaged in their work. Described as a shared process between faculty and students, undergraduate research combines research and teaching in a discovery-based process. Working closely with faculty and learning more in-depth about their fields of study, students gain real-world experiences that prepare them for careers and/or graduate school.
