Student Research

You belong in research!

Students at Dalton State have a unique opportunity to work closely with a faculty mentor to design and implement an authentic, hands-on research project – one that will explore and add to general knowledge about a particular subject.

Why Do Research? (and other questions)

Almost every student who participates in research LOVES it. You get independence, ownership over your project, and an opportunity to stretch your brain and feel good about yourself.
