Undergraduate Research and Creative Work

Students and faculty studying in archives

Opportunities and Resources

As an undergraduate student, you have the opportunity to pursue research and creative work through the English Department’s writing contests and University-sponsored events such as the annual Fall Fest and Academic Spree Day. You also might pursue an honors thesis, allowing you to dive deeper into a topic that interests you.

You’ll benefit from Clark’s prime location, which gives you the chance to work at major research libraries, including the nearby American Antiquarian Society — a world-renowned archive of journals, novels, letters, broadsides, and ephemera. Worcester is home to nine colleges and universities, providing the opportunity for face-to-face collaboration with scholars and writers beyond the Clark campus.
