Research

About the program

Research pairs students with mentors from top-ranked research universities. Students work 1-on-1 online with their mentors, developing and supporting independent research and building specialized, college-level skills. College Impact Research currently has mentors available in more than 50 academic disciplines, from artificial intelligence to political science to cognitive psychology.

Guided individually by their research mentor over 10 weeks, students explore a unique research project aligned with an academic area of interest. Optionally, students can also develop, write and publish a peer-reviewed research paper – as well as subsequently earn a letter of recommendation from their research mentor for use in their future college applications.
