Collaborative Research

As a student at Linfield, you are a vital part of faculty research.

Our Department of Environmental Studies will encourage you to pursue research in collaboration with our faculty. Funding is available for these projects from internal grants awarded yearly, departmental funds, and external sources.

The opportunity to present your work at professional society meetings and published in Quercus, the Linfield University Research Journal, is also an incredible experience!
