Experience-based Education
When it comes to personal growth and building relationships with faculty, few experiences rival undergraduate research. In Pamplin, we call it "RSCA," which stands for Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity. It refers to any educationally-beneficial project that students undertake alone or in small groups outside the classroom and under the mentorship of a faculty member.
Create a body of artwork, conduct research on a literary or historical figure, or analyze statistics on crime -- whatever form it takes, you'll benefit from close personal mentoring by a faculty member who is an expert in their field. You'll also likely come away with a professional or published work to advance your career or distinguish your application to graduate schools!
If you are an undergraduate student looking to deepen your skills in research, scholarship, or creative activity, you can visit the Center for Undergraduate Research and Scholarship and find new opportunities and faculty excited to mentor students.
Pamplin College’s Center for Social Science Research is a space for intellectual exchange among faculty and students interested in using social science to advance the common good.
Student publications are an excellent way to find your voice and strengthen your portfolio, and Pamplin College has a wide range to get involved with.
The Pamplin Student Research and Travel fund supports undergraduate student Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity conducted under the direction of faculty. Proposals are accepted at any time.
Pamplin programs and departments offer unique hands-on learning learning opportunities for course credit, including The Agency in the Department of Communication, Mock Trial and Model UN in the Department of Political Science, and Writing in the Community, offered by the Department of English and Foreign Languages.
