From food security to exploring evolution through dance, our students explore a range of subjects, stemming from their many curiosities, interests and passions.

The LCA Undergraduate Research Showcase presents the research of undergraduates from SF State's College of Liberal & Creative Arts (LCA) and reflects the unique diversity of disciplines within the College ranging from the humanities to the social sciences, to the creative arts. We welcome and celebrate the research work of all students, regardless of discipline and research experience.

LCA’s College Undergraduate Research Experience is pleased to announce the Marcus Undergraduate Research Fellowship, an opportunity for undergraduates working closely with a faculty member to develop, complete, and present a research or creative project.

It awards $3,000 to each student fellow and $1,000 to their faculty mentor to engage in student-initiated research and creative projects in 2025-2026. In addition to funding, recipients will participate in programming that supports their projects throughout the course of the fellowship. Research projects are broadly construed and students from all majors in the College of Liberal & Creative Arts from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences are encouraged to apply.

Please visit https://lca.sfsu.edu/marcus-undergraduate-research-fellowship for full details. Applications are due Tuesday, April 1 by 11:59pm.
