Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program

The University's URAP program is designed to facilitate opportunities for students to build closer professional connections with their instructors through their involvement in a collaborative research experience. Faculty and academic staff are supported by the Provost's Office to engage undergraduates in research/creative artistry activities in one-on-one mentorships. Each student is rewarded with a stipend after the completion of their research.

The goals of the program are:

To create and expand opportunities for undergraduates and faculty/academic staff to work as collaborators in the search for knowledge; to involve students in the creation of that knowledge and to acknowledge and celebrate the accomplishments of undergraduate researchers.
To foster critical thinking and active learning in students.
To create a better understanding of what research and creative artistry entail and why people do it.
To further demonstrate and reinforce the synergistic relationship between teaching and scholarship.

The University seeks proposals for collaborative research every semester. Applications are submitted to your Dean/Division office.
