Undergraduate Research
One of the distinctive features of a Maryville education is the Senior Study: The Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression Program of Maryville College.
Every degree candidate completes such a project in the major field, under the guidance of a faculty mentor. The Senior Study facilitates the scholarship of discovery within the major field and integrates those methods with the educational goals fostered through the Maryville Curriculum.
The Senior Study requirement allows the student to exercise initiative, plan and complete a substantial piece of work, and gain the confidence and pride that comes from accomplishment. To the right you can see examples of recent Senior Study titles for each major, as well as those exemplary studies that were selected for inclusion in the permanent collection of the library.
