Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Activity

The 草榴社区 Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Activity (URSA) program supports, develops and institutionalizes 草榴社区's diverse and robust programs of undergraduate research and creative scholarship.

URSA aims to improve skills in critical thinking and communication and to engender a culture of lifelong learning among all students, as well as enhance preparation and education of students who will fill the needs of 草榴社区鈥檚 21st century workforce and society.

URSA is 草榴社区鈥檚 resource for the development and promotion of experiential learning activities that engage undergraduate students to support 草榴社区鈥檚 goal to become a leading student-focused research university.

Building on existing efforts and capacities, URSA enables 草榴社区 students to pursue varying levels of research engagement from a single credit of first-year seminar to independent scholarly investigations or a senior thesis including BFA exhibit or performance.
