Through independent projects, the Senior Program, research with faculty members, and summer internships, Hamilton provides an increasing number of opportunities for students to engage in significant — often publishable — research at the undergraduate level.

Hands-On Collaborative Research

Summer Research

Hamilton offers its students outstanding opportunities to conduct research in all disciplines. Approximately 120 students receive grants each summer.

Publish & Present

Whether it’s during the academic year or the summer, Hamilton students collaborate with professors on original research. Often their work results in articles published in peer-reviewed journals or in presentations at national conferences. 

Student Stories

During the academic year and over the summer, Hamilton students put into practice the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom, lab, and studio. Every student graduates having completed a capstone experience, which typically involves significant research or an original artistic creation. Here are some recent examples.

Students taking Computer Sciences 240 build Nintendo Game Boys from scratch.

Classroom Coding Meets Game Boy

At Hamilton, computer science isn’t confined to code on a screen. The Computer Science Department, which recently overhauled its curriculum, has been making the ever-growing discipline emblematic of a liberal arts education. Step One has been ensuring that computer science is accessible to all students.
