Each spring, the Aresty Research Center hosts a universitywide Undergraduate Research Symposium, a chance for undergraduates to present a paper or poster on their findings to an audience of faculty, peers, and corporate and community partners.
The Aresty Rutgers Undergraduate Research Journal (RURJ) is an undergraduate-run, interdisciplinary journal designed to showcase the cutting-edge undergraduate research conducted at Rutgers University.
The New Jersey Northern Junior Science and Humanities Symposium, hosted at Rutgers University, invites high school students to report on the results of their original research investigations in STEM and compete for scholarships and recognition at university-held regional symposia. Students in grades 9-12 enrolled in public, private, or home schools are eligible to participate in their local regional symposium. The event is sponsored and administered by the Aresty Research Center.
First-year students, sophomores, and juniors with no previous research experience are eligible to apply to the Research Assistant (RA) Program which pairs students with faculty mentors to conduct a year-long academic project.
For rising sophomores who are new to research, the Summer Science Program teams faculty mentors with students to conduct a research project over the summer.
