ABOUT

The Undergraduate Research Program (URP) provides non-classroom, credit-bearing educational opportunities to undergraduate students. Interested, qualified students work closely with faculty in faculty-generated research projects, or other projects representing the faculty's professional, academic interests. The apprenticeship model is featured, and students gain firsthand experience in creative and investigative academic work, participate in alternate learning environments, translate theory into practice, explore the cutting edge of particular disciplines, develop closer working relationships with faculty members, and enhance their own career and educational credentials.

The Undergraduate Research Program is a program of iLEARN: The Innovative Learning Program of The College of Arts and Sciences. It is open to all qualified undergraduate students across the University.
