Getting Started in RSCA

Start Your RSCA Journey

Getting started with research, scholarship and creative activities (RSCA) can lead you down many exciting paths, depending on your interests and goals. The most important thing to remember: you can achieve whatever you set your mind to.

As you begin your journey, seek support from your peers, faculty, and staff as building a strong network will help you stay motivated and reach your research goals.

OSCAR is here to support you every step of the way. This page outlines research opportunities open to students from all majors.

Learn about RSCA

Getting involved in research, scholarship and creative activities (RSCA) helps you build valuable, hands-on skills such as:

  • Developing a research question or topic
  • Conducting literature reviews
  • Analyzing data
  • Preparing conference presentations
  • Strengthening your writing and communication

Beyond technical skills, RSCA also offers important personal and professional benefits. You'll gain experience working in teams, develop stronger interpersonal skills, and receive mentorship from faculty who can guide your academic and career decisions, including graduate school and job opportunities.

RSCA is more than just a project! It is a pathway to your growth and discovery!
