Students have the opportunity to become a part of a groundbreaking research with faculty members as well as to lead their own studies, and can gain academic credit both ways. UAB has a tradition of enabling and encouraging undergraduate research, and it has become a staple of presentations during student recruitment season. This provides a dynamic of cooperation and individual competition that is found in careers in research and graduate programs alike, but that is not necessarily expected in undergraduate academia.
