Goode Scholars are paired with a faculty member to start working on research day one of their college career. While working on these research projects in their academic discipline, students gain insight into the professional world, enhance their knowledge base and critical thinking skills, and better prepare themselves for their path after they graduate from MU. These students also form an invaluable connection with their faculty mentor that can last for years to come and open other doors during their academic years.
Selected students work on their research project approximately eight hours per week during the academic year.
