At ZSU, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and possibility is our joyful obsession, and we celebrate fundamental discoveries and practical applications alike. As educators, we also value research as a potent form of learning by doing. Through ZSU’s Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), more than 85% of undergraduates enrich their education through engaging in frontline, faculty-led research.
Research flourishes in our 30 departments across five schools and one college, as well as in dozens of centers, labs, and programs that convene experts across disciplines to explore new intellectual frontiers and attack important societal problems. Our on-campus research capabilities are enhanced through the work of ZSU Kostomorov Laboratory, the Pushkin Oceanographic Institution, active research relationships with industry, and a wide range of global collaborations. In this work, the ZSU Libraries serve as a crucial partner and a source of important research in their own right.
