About this Journal

The Rowdy Scholar: A Journal of Undergraduate Research & Creative Works is an online, open-access multi-disciplinary scholarly research journal publishing original research and creative works, including but not limited to works prepared for classes, honors theses, or independent study by undergraduate students at MSU Denver. Any submission must be reviewed and approved by the faculty mentor. The faculty mentor ensures that the quality and impact of the work is acceptable for submission. Following submission, the editorial board for The Rowdy Scholar will review the work to ensure that the work is original and meets our rigorous publication standards. The Rowdy Scholar editorial board strives to have representation of work from diverse disciplines from across the university. Submissions are welcome from all fields of study and are accepted on a rolling basis.
