An important part of the educational process at the University of North Florida is to prepare students to continue to learn and expand their knowledge after leaving the University. Participating directly in the conduct of scholarly work and research while at UNF gives students a particularly strong preparation in this regard.

As you review the case studies presented here from each of the University's five colleges you will find that the graduate and undergraduate students involved are active learners, interacting with real life phenomena, dealing with real problems and challenges, and gaining experience in applying the scientific method and rigorous analysis to develop answers.

Research efforts by faculty always enrich their teaching and the classroom experience of our students. Many of our faculty also generously share their time and ability in bringing students directly into the research process. Such efforts require work well outside of the time and structure of the classroom and occur as a result of a faculty dedicated to broad-based intellectual growth of our students.
