The Navigator is a scholarly journal intended to highlight the best and brightest work from Park University undergraduate students. Work is accepted across the disciplines from any undergraduate course.

Students are encouraged to submit research projects, essays, and other scholarly work. Faculty may also nominate student work. An email will be sent to the student notifying them of the nomination and requesting their consent.

Submission Requirements:

  • We accept submissions from currently enrolled Park University undergraduate students.
  • Submissions must have been completed during the student’s undergraduate career at Park University.
  • Submissions must be publishable in both print and online formats.
  • Images, tables, and graphs are accepted and encouraged as long as they can be reproduced in print and online.
  • Submissions should be in compliance with Park’s academic honor code. 
  • While creative spins on academic writing are accepted, pure creative writing (poems, short stories, etc.) is more suitable for Park’s literary journal the Scribe.
