Fostering Research through Creative Exploration
Research starts with an idea. Our students and faculty engage in solutions-driven research and cutting-edge projects that are intrinsic to the St. Edward's experience.

Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
As a forum that fosters cross-disciplinary conversations, SOURCE provides faculty-student engagement outside the classroom and gives students a platform to showcase their creative work and research. We champion our students’ achievements in research and their creative expression through the process.
Student Research With Real-World Impact
Take your curiosities and insights and apply them to create real-world solutions. See how students take these ideas beyond the classroom to develop community and global impact.

Through the lens of climate change adaptation and mitigation, students explore data-driven solutions to the world’s most pressing environmental problem. The Environmental Biology and Climate Change major prepares students to investigate and find solutions to complex threats to Earth’s living organisms and ecosystems. Individual and group field expeditions locally and globally give students an opportunity to broaden their understanding with hands-on experience.
