Undergraduate Research @UC

At UC, we have an Office of Undergraduate Research (part of Experience Based Learning & Career Education). The information and links below provide an overview of student research opportunities at UC and how to get involved. If you have further questions contact Dr. Megan Lamkin, Program Director of Undergraduate Research.

Start with the Undergraduate Research at UC: What? Why? a 5-minute discipline-inclusive video to help students understand what research is and why they may want to pursue it (recommended for research & professional development courses/programs)

Connect with the following resources at UC to get involved in Research.

Ready for Research Information Sessions: discipline- inclusive; helps students understand what research is & how to get involved
