Drake Undergraduate Science Collaborative Institute

The Drake University Science Collaborative Institute (DUSCI) is a community of science-minded individuals who come together from across campus and disciplines to explore issues in the sciences. As a member of DUSCI, you can learn about the research efforts of faculty, students, and experts in a wide range of fields. DUSCI supports scientific exploration in areas as varied as computer science, mathematics, psychology, astronomy, chemistry, and health sciences—and also advances knowledge in your field of interest through collaborative research projects with Drake faculty.
