Undergraduate Research Opportunities
The UUAC provides many opportunities for Undergraduate students to become involved with research, including both fieldwork and lab settings. Students interested in general research experience should contact Kasey Cole or Ishmael Medina. Students are encouraged to apply to the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program. UROP provides a $1,200 stipend for 120 hours of research over the course of a semester and educational programming for students who assist with a faculty member’s research or who carry out a project of their own under the supervision of a faculty member. Interested students should seek out a member of the UUAC Faculty to discuss possible projects and to prepare an application for UROP. A list of UUAC project that were funded by UROP can be viewed below.
