Research with Faculty
Students at independent colleges and universities are more likely than their peers at public institutions to have the opportunity to work with faculty members on relevant research to their field or discipline outside of course or program requirements. Among seniors at non-doctoral private colleges, one in four (25 percent) reported working on research with a faculty member, compared with 23 percent of seniors at doctoral public universities and 18 percent at non-doctoral public institutions.
Note: Percentage of students who responded that they worked on a research project with a faculty member outside of course or program requirements before graduating from their institution.
