Preface

The vision of the College of Arts and Sciences at Bowie State University is to “… be known
nationally as a Teacher-Scholar College.” To this end, two of our priorities are to “Promote
research and scholarship/creative acts” and to “Promote student success” in the College. The
College will be known for scholarly approach to teaching and the scholarships of research and
teaching. Teaching will be informed by research.

This handbook is designed to provide the student with general information about
undergraduate research in our College, as well as the general guidelines for conducting
research across disciplines. The information is basic and geared toward undergraduate
students.

It is expected that faculty mentors would supplement the information in this manuscript as
necessary. Further, different departments may have additional guidelines that are discipline-
specific. Between the two sets of information, students in the College should be equipped to
have a meaningful and productive undergraduate research experience at Bowie State.

Some information was obtained from several sources for preparing this manuscript. Key
sources have been listed for the student to consult for additional information
