The Northwestern Undergraduate Research Journal (NURJ) is a student-led publication that showcases outstanding research done by Northwestern undergraduates from across all academic fields. We have recently published two editions in collaboration with the Undergraduate Research and Arts Exposition and the Chicago Area Undergraduate Research Symposium (CAURS) on our online platform. 

NURJ Online planning a global health theme for this summer’s publication and work submitted within this field or related fields would be highly appreciated. We are currently soliciting complete theses as well as any original research work in any medium (e.g. summary from presentations, posters, artwork). Materials must be the author's original and independent work. Any student who wishes to publish in this edition is welcome to and can do so using this submission form by September 1st, 2020. 

NURJ Paper is also accepting submissions for Volume 16, the upcoming edition of our annual paper journal. NURJ Paper publishes the best department-recommended senior theses in any and all fields. Research papers and abstracts must be the author’s independent work. Theses can be submitted by visiting our submission guidelines by October 1st, 2020.

Northwestern University has long-standing coordination with this powerful, hands-on, combined field/lab/computational, interdisciplinary program. The MBL makes extensive use of the coastal marine environment literally  surrounding campus for classes and your student-led research projects. Ideal applicants have completed their chemistry sequence and at least some biology. Based on our formal collaboration with this program, we also have an excellent history of returning credits, including with counting to Advanced Studies to the Environmental Science major. Learn more on the MBL webpage.
