Undergraduate Research

Undergraduate research is a valuable opportunity that is worth the effort and you'll likely have fun doing it along the way! Student-researchers at UCCS earn 18% higher GPAs than their non-researching peers, they have a 120% higher graduation rate, and they are four times as likely to pursue graduate studies (Undergraduate Research Academy Impact Data, 2022). Research experiences also offers the opportunity to connect with fellow students and faculty interested in the same important topics you are and together you can help contribute to the knowledge of tomorrow!

To promote undergraduate research, the Center for Student Research provides information to help the process go smoother. We can help you find a faculty mentor, you can connect with a graduate peer mentor for advice and support, search resources like funding opportunities, and we provide workshops throughout the year to help you hone your research and presentation skills.
