The NCSU Astrophysics group has long enjoyed the participation of undergraduates in active research projects. The role of students ranges from assistance in data analysis of X-ray and radio observations, to fully independent research projects. In addition to working part time during the semester, each summer, several students immerse themselves in full time astrophysics research.
