The Vail College Fellows Program, Birmingham-Southern’s
program of undergraduate research, provides a formal structure for
joint faculty-student
research and teaching. The program has a two-tiered design. Students
in the first tier, Research Fellows and Teaching Fellows, receive academic
credit for their research projects. Teaching Fellows register for 298,
398 or 498, Teaching Experience; Research Fellows, for 293, 393, 493,
Independent Study. An individualized study contract needs to be completed
for 293, 393, 493. Students in the second tier, Distinguished Fellows,
receive a $1,000 tuition scholarship rather than academic credit.
College Fellows Program projects are varied and take many different
forms: teaching assistantships, writing center tutor appointments, research
in the humanities, laboratory research in the sciences, for example.
Many of these projects lead to scholarly presentations and publications.
