What is RSCA?
Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity
All Fields do RSCA
The term "RSCA," or Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity, conveys how "research"
includes all fields of investigative, experimental and creative work and achievement! This means
all colleges, majors, and programs engage in some form of RSCA.
All Students - Undergraduate and Graduate
Faculty, staff, and students, including graduate students and undergraduates!
Research is a central tenet of the scientific disciplines and allows for new ideas
to be rigorously tested and new knowledge to be created. Scholarship and creative
activity allow our humanities and arts faculty and students to author new written
works and create new works of art in all forms of artistic expression.
Enriching Your Program and Prospects
RSCA puts all of our faculty and at the forefront of their fields and allows our students to be exposed to and take part in that creativity.
As a student, that exposure will not only allow you to learn from leaders in the field, but will also enrich your student experience and will give you practical tools and experiences to use in your future academic or professional endeavors. By definition, you cannot be a passive participant in RSCA: you will be a valuable contributor to the creation of new works and knowledge and will be helping to move a field forward - a great opportunity you should not pass up!
