The Institute for Student Research & Creative Activity (ISRCA) engages, supports, enhances and acknowledges the involvement of students and their faculty mentors in research, scholarship and creative activities throughout campus. ISRCA assists in growing the number and breadth of research, scholarship and creative activity opportunities for all NKU students. ISRCA also facilitates programming to support faculty-student collaborative scholarly work and to further integrate research into the curriculum.
As the Council on Undergraduate Research states, students who participate in research are better prepared in their fields of student as well as more informed as citizens as they learn skills of problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication.
