As an undergraduate student at Stanford, you have the unique opportunity to pursue your interests with both the freedom to carve your own path and the support to make the most of it. Stanford provides project opportunities for the scientist, the artist, the writer, and for anyone willing to explore. From traditional research papers to innovative dance performances, Stanford students have undertaken a wide range of independent projects that deepen their understanding and love of a topic, connect them to faculty, and build the foundation for future experiences. Learn more about other students’ projects and how to get focused on your own independent project.
