Research

Towson University’s collegial academic environment fosters multidisciplinary research and scholarship that complements current knowledge in the field and leads to superior teaching.  From bioterrorism studies to the latest in teacher development, our applied research programs involve students, faculty, the community, government and the private sector.

Undergraduate 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. 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. 

Pursuing Partnerships

TU’s focus on innovation and entrepreneurship facilitates collaboration and strategic partnerships with the community and the state. Towson University welcomes partnerships that engage the expertise of its faculty and staff members. Professionals in our Office of Sponsored Programs and Research can help identify funding opportunities, develop project ideas into proposals, and submit complete and competitive proposals.
