Abstract
Undergraduate research, a high-impact learning practice, peaks interest and enthusiasm for research and contributes to development of research process knowledge, skills, and competency. Fifty millennial sophomore nursing students participated in the innovative learning activity using lyrics from popular songs to complete qualitative analysis in a research course. Students analyzed, synthesized, and developed themes from music lyrics that helped them to more fully understand the processes and perspectives of qualitative research. This activity taught students about qualitative research and provided an opportunity to develop analysis, synthesis, and teamwork knowledge and skills transferable to the professional environment.
