Each year the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) provides first and second year students the chance to have a first time research experience working on an ongoing faculty research project. Participating in UROP is a great way to explore a field you might be interested in or one you never heard of, find a faculty mentor, and gain knowledge and skills you can use in your coursework. We have projects available in a wide variety of fields including health sciences, social sciences, engineering, humanities, life sciences, environmental studies, physical sciences, and the creative arts.

Program Requirements: The program can be completed for credit (2-4 credits per term) or work study (if you have been awarded and accepted funding, plus one academic credit). You will conduct research anywhere from 6-12 hours per week for the full academic year. In addition to conducting research, the program requires attendance at bi-weekly seminars (day and time TBD), completion of short seminar assignments, monthly meetings with a peer mentor, and a poster presentation of your research at UROP’s Spring Symposium.
