Co-Labs: An Enriching Experience for Liberal Arts Majors

The Co-Lab Program in the College of Liberal Arts provides our students with a unique opportunity to work closely with a faculty member on a research- or community-based project designed to model and teach a variety of skills relevant to the execution of a larger academic or professional endeavor.

How to Participate in a Co-Lab

Each semester, the Dean's Office announces a call for applications from students to participate in one of our Co-Labs. To be considered, students submit an application directly to the faculty member directing the specific Co-Lab that interests them. Co-lab topics will also be announced on our website. 

To qualify for the program, you must meet the following requirements: 

  • Be enrolled in a major in the College of Liberal Arts
  • Have good academic standing
  • Have junior or senior standing during the period of the Co-Lab

Note: Faculty members may grant special permission for sophomores to enroll, when appropriate to do so.

If you have general questions about the CO-LAB Program, feel free to send them to Dean Badia ([email protected]), coordinator of the CO-LAB Program.
