The Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) works with undergraduate students interested in developing creative projects and research experience with an Alverno College faculty member.

The CAE provides support for undergraduate student scholarship using a mentoring framework under the guidance of faculty. These projects offer the possibility of significant scholarly achievement by all those involved. Advanced learning in a disciplinary or interdisciplinary area is required.

Qualified undergraduate students will strengthen their scholarly abilities through extensive mentorship and professional collaboration with the  faculty mentor. Students must also demonstrate their learning through a public demonstration of the project work that can be highlighted and promoted by the CAE.
