Research Opportunities
In keeping with its mission as a research university, NYU strives, whenever possible, to include undergraduates in the production of knowledge. Since creativity and original work can take different forms in different fields, research is defined in its broadest sense, encompassing artistic and professional activities, as well as more traditional academic inquiry into the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Research extends and enhances classroom learning by enabling students to work one-on-one with faculty members (and, in some areas, also with highly trained postdoctoral fellows and graduate students). In addition to strengthening a student's resume and graduate or professional school applications, such experiences expand understanding of a discipline, engender productive mentoring relationships, and encourage the development of analytic and communication skills that are useful in any profession.
Research varies widely in nature, context, and extent both within and across undergraduate schools at NYU, ranging from research requirements in individual credit-bearing courses to independent study courses and honors theses or projects.
Below are just a few examples of the ways in which undergraduate students can get involved in the research happening at New York University:

This AI Model Can Make Creative Connections Puzzles
Researchers at NYU including Timothy Merino tested GPT-4's ability to create puzzles like The New York Times' "Connections." They found that while LLMs struggle with anticipating human reasoning, breaking down tasks into subtasks allowed GPT-4 to generate puzzles comparable in quality to human-made ones, with players rating many AI-generated puzzles as equally challenging and creative.
