Undergraduate Research
ACU is a university where scholarly activity and innovation are valued and encouraged. Allowing our students to participate in undergraduate research and other forms of scholarship engages their intellectual curiosity, challenges them to think critically, satisfies their thirst for discovery, and gives them an outlet for their creativity.
The Office of Undergraduate Research, Creativity and Innovation supports the participation of undergraduate students in scholarly research and creative projects through grant funding, hosting the ACU Undergraduate Research Festival, and other collaborative initiatives.
Faculty Who Shine
At the heart of learning at ACU are dedicated faculty who are experts in their fields, passionately committed to students’ growth and success.

ACU’s 270+ full-time faculty members focus on high-quality teaching, scholarship and service. More than 92 percent of tenure-track faculty hold terminal degrees.
