We encourage all our students to participate in our wide-ranging research opportunities, a scholarly endeavor that allows you to grow, expand your horizons, meet new challenges, acquire critical skills, and pose new questions that will define and shape our students and faculty as scholars of the future. Our faculty research a vast array of topics, from the potential curative qualities of gold for leukemia patients to political satire in America. They invite postdoctoral, graduate, undergraduate, and even motivated high school students from the neighborhood to work alongside them, regardless of their field, whether it’s the natural or social sciences, the liberal or performing arts.

Every year our students garner fellowships and scholarships of national prestige, such as fellowships from the Ford Foundation, the Beinecke Scholarship Program, the Salk Institute, the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, and many others. In addition, thanks to an endowment by alumna Florence Cohen Rosen ’59, up to eight new fellowships of $5,000 each were established that enable students to execute projects that position them as leading authorities in their chosen fields. In 2011, 2005, and 1992, our students won perhaps the most prestigious honor of all to continue their research—the Rhodes Scholarship.
