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.

Deadlines

Students may apply for a URM for any one of four different periods:
1) Summer 2010, 2) Fall 2010, 3) Spring 2011, 4) Academic Year 2010–2011.
NOTE: Students who have received prior URM are ineligible for these competitions.

  • Friday, February 26, 2010: Deadline for completed applications for Summer 2010 and Fall 2010
  • Friday, October 29, 2010: Deadline for completed applications for Spring 2010
