Undergraduate Research Scholars Program
The Undergraduate Research Scholars Program (Inter- L&S 250) is taking applications!
The Undergraduate Research Scholars Program is a two-semester course in which students do hands-on research or creative work under the guidance of a UW faculty or staff member. Each student works on the current project of a mentor who is advancing the frontiers of knowledge or creative practice. Students also participate in a weekly seminar to explore influences of research and creative work in society.
URS offers research and creative opportunities throughout campus with mentors in all Schools & Colleges. It is a high-impact practice helping students advance academically, clarify their educational and career goals, and gain significant job-related experience.
Students earn 2-3 credits per semester, depending on the number of hours worked.
Course Schedule/ Meeting Times:
Students work an average of 6 hours/week on research and creative work. Exact hours and days/times are determined by the student and mentor together, accounting for the student's class schedule. The weekly seminar is Wednesdays, 5-6pm both semesters-- students must have this time free in their course schedule.
Application process:
URS is open to all first and second year undergraduates, and transfer students in their first year. No prior experience or requirements are needed to apply. URS is committed to creating a diverse, inclusive scholarly community that includes students from historically underrepresented groups.
Students must apply online at the Undergraduate Research Scholars website.
Applicants will receive an email from URS 1-2 weeks after applying. Admission is rolling.
