The Undergraduate Research Program (URP) is a high impact practice that gives students the opportunity to apply their knowledge outside of the classroom and dive deeper into their disciplines. URP offers a variety of programs aimed to connect our students with faculty mentors and provide them with enriching research opportunities. This can be in the form of working alongside a mentor as a student researcher on an existing project or creating an independent, student-led project under the guidance of a mentor.

The URP supports inquiry-driven scholarship through research, innovation, and creative activities. It is the central location for undergraduate students seeking on-campus research opportunities and faculty seeking enthusiastic, motivated undergraduate students with whom to collaborate. The URP facilitates enriching opportunities by providing funding for research, innovative, or creative project supplies to travel to conduct and/or disseminate the results of the projects to undergraduate students.
