Student Publications
Publishing is important for survival in science and we find that M.S., Ph.D., and undergraduate students benefit from publishing their research in peer-reviewed journals. The experience of preparing a manuscript, revising it with co-authors, submitting it to a journal, and finally dealing with reviewers' comments, better prepares students for the future. In addition, electronic copies of student theses are available on the Program Graduates page.
