Research - The University of Tulsa

Research

New and exciting research opportunities occur right across The University of Tulsa. Our research environment is one of TU's most distinctive advantages. As a mid-size university, we're large enough to support a vigorous research program yet small enough that our scholars remain visible members of a supportive community.

    TURC

    I was able to plan, discuss, and run experiments on my own. I had the support and mentoring of [faculty] and my lab mates, but the ability to come into the lab and plan out the experiments is a great way to develop your skills and independence in the lab.
