Independent Research Opportunities 

College-level research before you get to college.

Science Research & DEsign 

In this unique, three-year sequence, students learn to create their own research questions and perform original science research. Unlike similar research programs, BC's Science Research and Design program (SRD) encourages students to conduct research on campus using our newly renovated and state of the art research facilities. This allows students to take full ownership of their work and become experts in their field. During their three years in SRD, students read and analyze peer reviewed literature, verify published experimental results, and design, conduct, and present the results of their own original science research.

Senior Scholars

The Senior Scholars Program prepares Berkeley Carroll 12th graders to be responsible researchers, inquisitive citizens and dynamic writers for their lives ahead. This selective and demanding program is designed for students who are interested in pursuing serious scholarly work in the humanities. Students develop their research skills and capacity for philosophical inquiry as they design and pursue a year-long independent project that culminates in a formal written paper and an accompanying public oral presentation. Recent topics include the impact of citizen journalism in the media, the history of surveillance of black Americans, the underrepresentation of women of color in women's magazines and the impact of voter identification laws.

American Studies Walking tours


As the culmination of a year of in-depth research and writing, 11th graders led original walking tours across New York City—guiding classmates and faculty through neighborhoods connected to their American Studies thesis topics.
