Students will walk away with a refined 6-page research proposal for an honors thesis, masters thesis, graduate school, or fellowship application. They will also gain first-hand experience in qualitative research data collection and analysis methods through a collective research project conducted during the six weeks of the workshop. http://cer.berkeley.edu/cer-summer-workshop

The University of Notre Dame Environmental Research Center | University of Notre Dame | The UNDERC-West program offers a 10-week field biology course for undergraduate students who have completed the UNDERC-East course. This 3-credit summer course is located in western Montana on the Flathead Reservation. This course expands on concepts covered in the UNDERC-East course, with modules on grassland ecology, montane forest ecology, and Native American ecology. Students conduct an independent research project under the direction of the assistant director or graduate student mentors. The UNDERC-West course is more focused on research than the UNDERC-East course, as students are given more time to spend on their project and more independence. Most students conduct research at the National Bison Range National Wildlife Refuge or surrounding tribal lands.
