Does Pitt have opportunities for undergraduate research?
Pitt is well known nationally for its undergraduate research programs. Students interested in seeking research as an undergraduate will have no problem finding a project, at any time of the year, that fits their interests. You can even get involved as early as your freshman year. With the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center combined with tremendous variety of companies in the area, the possibilities are endless. Many undergraduate research opportunities are initiated merely by talking to professors and showing interest in their field. Many professors are more than happy to accept a student volunteer in their research lab which can often lead to a paid position.
