The College of Liberal Arts would like to invite you to apply for The College’s Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program (URAP) for the Fall 2022 semester. The program provides a structured opportunity for students to be exposed to and learn about research and exploration in the many different disciplines within Liberal Arts.  It involves both training and active involvement in research projects under the mentorship of faculty and is intended to prepare students for their own independent research activities prior to graduation.

For each fall semester, six COLA units (departments, centers, or initiatives) will offer an organized research experience for a cluster of students accepted to URAP. Developed and tailored to each unit’s respective disciplinary/interdisciplinary tradition, activities will be built around a key theme, research project, or set of projects and will involve cluster of apprentices regardless their level of research experience or training. Each unit’s semester-long Cohort URAP will be headed by a faculty advisor and a graduate student mentor.

The deadline to apply for Fall 2022 is 5 p.m. May 6, 2022.  

More information about the program can be found on our website.
