GCU’s goal is to continually increase the amount of research, publishing and presenting conducted by faculty and students. GCU’s scholarship interests focus on the subjects of its colleges and connecting students and faculty with cooperative scholarship opportunities in public entities and private industry.
GCU is proud to offer research initiatives in which students can participate. For example, the College of Science, Engineering, and Technology launched a Research and Design Program (RDP), providing undergraduate STEM students with opportunities to work with faculty on research projects such as the Institute for Environmental Sustainability, Center for Plant Genomics and Novel Products, Canyon Neuroscience Center, Lopes POWER Lab and Anatomy & Biotechnology Group.
Additionally, the Center for Innovation in Research & Teaching (CIRT) was founded in 2010. GCU uses the Boyer Model of Scholarship and provides support through CIRT, including human, financial and contextual. The center provides guidance on research topics along with methodologies and avenues for publication and presentation while securing and providing grants for priority research projects.
At GCU, we are committed to tailoring the student experience to help our entire university community achieve their goals and find success! Our faculty and students contribute to the scholarly community through publications and presentations, while our faculty and staff are committed to putting our students and their needs first.
