JCSU has captured a valuable research niche for our students.  As undergraduates, they gain the advantage of publishing as co-authors on peer-reviewed papers and conducting in-depth primary source research.  Through applied research experiences, our students become adept leaders who can use creative thinking to solve real world problems.
