Main ContentStudent Research Opportunities
TCU Nursing offers many opportunities for students to get involved in research. Harris
College is able to engage in innovative research because it maintains a very close
connection between students and the community.
At the undergraduate level, students participate through the John V. Roach Honors College who explore a topic of their choosing alongside a professor to yield a research product
such as a presentation or a paper. Some undergraduate students also volunteer in some
of our research labs.
Graduate students can complete a thesis dissertation where they ask a research question
that’s in line with their mentor’s line of research, and they’ll work carefully to
answer it and contribute to the things that we know about health care.
