The Albright Creative Research Experience (ACRE) is an interdisciplinary program that enables students to conduct research or creative activity in partnership with nurturing faculty mentors. All students are invited to submit an ACRE application. A committee reviews the proposals and recommends awards. Participants receive a stipend and free room and board during the summer or January interim. Students and faculty from all disciplines meet each week to share their experiences and learn from each other. Many collaborative teams of students and faculty present their research at academic conferences and publish their results in professional journals.
"Participants gain insight into their discipline that transcends the typical college experience. The intense exploration of a topic and acquisition of new skills increases their competitiveness for professional positions and graduate school."
- David T. Osgood, Ph.D., Albright Creative Research Experience Director
