Research

Towson University’s academic environment fosters multidisciplinary research and scholarship that breaks new ground, complements current knowledge and leads to superior teaching. From election security to uncovering local history, our research programs involve undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, the community, government and the private sector.

Undergraduate and Graduate Research

Our Office of Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry supports undergraduate research in all fields of study through research grants, travel grants and small project awards. Graduate students also have opportunities to pursue research and awards across all disciplines. Faculty-mentored research allows students to explore a topic in depth and refine their academic and intellectual interests. Participating in research also helps students develop essential skills in problem-solving, innovation and collaboration that employers find extremely valuable.
