Undergraduate Research Mentorship Program

The Undergraduate Research Mentorship Program aims to encourage and support undergraduate participation in faculty research in A&S departments. Funded jointly by the College of Arts and Science and the Provost and administered by a faculty committee, the URM Program is an opportunity for rising juniors to cooperate actively with faculty mentors, learning firsthand about the natural integration of research and teaching. All Arts and Science students with 50-75 hours of course work and at least a 3.25 GPA are eligible to apply for either a summer mentorship, or a fall or winter semester mentorship.

Deadline

  • Friday, October 30, 2009 is the deadline for Spring 2010 Undergraduate Research Mentorship proposals.
