Don’t just study it – do it!

Starting your first year on campus, you’ll be trained on advanced equipment and technique. At many large research institutions, instrumentation and facilities are reserved for grad students, post-docs and researchers. At ONU, these facilities are all for you – our undergraduate research collaborators.

Incredible Opportunities Await You

The best way to prepare for your future career is through hands-on learning. That’s why we provide immersive experiences, including labs, undergraduate research, internships, field trips and much more.
