Total GrantsCreative Inquiry is the imaginative combination of engaged learning, cross-disciplinary interactions and undergraduate research that is unique to Clemson University. Team-based investigations are led by faculty mentors and typically span a year or more. Students take on problems that spring from their own curiosity, from a professor’s challenge or from the pressing needs of the world around them. These invaluable experiences produce exceptional graduates.
Since its start in 2005, Creative Inquiry has supported more than 65,000 student experiences in more than 2,000 research projects. Each semester, more than 2,800 undergraduate students investigate topics ranging from children’s literacy to medical devices for developing countries to designing the next generation of solar cells.
“Creative Inquiry is Clemson’s unique brand of undergraduate research that gives thousands of students invaluable experiences that hone their skills in projects with real-world impact while allowing them to explore their interests both within and beyond their majors. These experiences prepare them for post-graduation life and career success.”
