Overview:
|
At UCR, undergraduates can contribute to the creation of
new knowledge. Undergraduate research - and “research”
in this context meaning any scholarly or creative activity
ranging from traditional scientific experimentation to the
creation of new artistic works - provides extraordinary
opportunities to engage in scholarship outside of the traditional
classroom. You will work closely with a faculty mentor and
members of their research team on an existing problem or
you can arrange for a faculty mentor for your own project.
Seminars, internships, and independent research projects
provide an opportunity to explore these possibilities.
Moreover, a focused quarter or two working on such a project
can clarify a student’s decision about a career devoted
to the subject; the experience can also help a student decide
whether to undertake graduate study and which program to
choose. And, of course, close interaction with a faculty
member and a finished piece of serious research are among
the most powerful credentials for admission to graduate
or professional school. Participating in faculty research
enables you to develop technical skills, explore different
areas of modern research, and learn how the "real world"
of scientific research operates. In addition, working in
a faculty member's laboratory gives you an opportunity to
closely interact with your professors and, in turn, they
get to know you as an individual.
