As a student in the David C. Frederick Honors College, you will have numerous opportunities to participate in research and showcase your work. Get inspiration from previous Frederick Honors research projects!

Annual David C. Frederick Honors College Research Symposium

The annual FHC research symposium is open to all FHC students and provides an opportunity for students working on research or creative endeavors across all disciplines to present their work while networking with faculty, researchers, and other students throughout the Pitt community. Applications to present open at the beginning of the spring term and the event is usually held in March/April.

Pittsburgh Undergraduate Review

The Pittsburgh Undergraduate Review (PUR) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed online journal where students can publish their Frederick Honors affiliated research and creative work. 

We publish undergraduate student submissions in four categories: research, creative writing, visual arts, and reviews. Submissions are taken from all disciplines but must consist of work done under the guidance of a reputable faculty mentor and/or through a sponsored university program. If you are a student hoping to publish your work with the PUR, take a moment to review our website, where you can find submission guidelines and requirements.

If you have any questions or need guidance about the journal, our editorial board, pur@pitt.edu, and research program staff, fhcresearchinfo@groups.pitt.edu, are here to assist you.
