The opportunity to do hands-on research, including major projects funded by such organizations as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF) and others, with professors even as undergraduates (see CSL Undergraduate Summer Research Stipends). This is an opportunity not typically available in larger schools and one that gives students an advantage before they enter the job market or graduate school. More >
