Undergraduate
Research Opportunities Program (UROP)
The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), is administered
by the Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Minnesota.
This program is designed to give undergraduate students and faculty
members the opportunity to work together on research, scholarly,
or creative activities.
Full-time undergraduates enrolled in each of the 23 participating
colleges on all 4 University of Minnesota campuses are eligible
to apply provided they are enrolled in a baccalaureate or pre-baccalaureate
program.
Over 5,000 students and faculty across the University have already
discovered the benefits of these hands-on research opportunities
in laboratories, studios, libraries, and field sites. Participating
students have developed detailed knowledge of research methods while
their faculty sponsors have gained the assistance of enthusiastic
and capable students.
