Research


Bridgewater students carry out research projects in a variety of contexts.  A number of classes require independent research projects. Many students choose to carry out their own summer, semester or year-long research project with the mentorship of a member of the faculty. Others perform research off campus in conjunction with a summer job, internship or class. Examples of environmental research projects at Bridgewater College are listed below.
