Gerald and Carol Vovis Center for Research and Advanced Study

Independent research, scholarship, and creative work are the hallmark of our educational program.

Knox ranks in the top 5% of higher education institutions in the nation to produce Ph.D. recipients relative to institutional size.
(Higher Ed Data Sharing Comm.)


An estimated 85% of our students complete an independent research or creative project by the time they graduate, and 53% report working on a research project with a faculty member outside of course or program requirements -- much higher than the 37% reported at peer institutions.

The Gerald and Carol Vovis Center for Research and Advanced Study (CRAS) can help you with:

  • News and events -- Showcasing the research, scholarly, and creative successes of faculty and students, and keeping our Knox community informed of related events and opportunities
