Undergraduate Research Programs support undergraduate research and scholarship opportunities. These opportunities happen in classrooms, laboratories, libraries, studios, and on stages across our institution.

The numerous and varied undergraduate research experiences we offer our students are a direct result of their access to dedicated world-class faculty mentors from both our exceptional undergraduate liberal arts college and our world-class research university, which includes seven different graduate and professional schools all on one campus.

Undergraduate Research Programs (URP) support faculty and students involved in undergraduate research by providing resources for research projects and conference attendance via URP grant support. We also help faculty develop new undergraduate research opportunities.

We offer formal academic year programs to help students interested in undergraduate research find mentors and we provide one-on-one advising to students seeking opportunities on our campus and beyond. Our Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) program has been offering students extended full-time summer research opportunities for more than 25 years.
