The Office of Academic Enrichment’s Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry has selected 51 students for participation in the Summer 2025 Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program (URAP).
The Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program (URAP) is a funding and professional development opportunity through Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry. The program assists students in any major or research area with financial needs while being involved in an undergraduate research project. URAP is a competitive program and funds approximately 50-60 students each summer semester to conduct faculty-mentored research. In addition to their research activities, URAP students participate in a professional development curriculum organized by UR&CI staff.
