Center for Undergraduate Research

The USM Center for Undergraduate Research was established in October 2011. The overall mission of the center is to enhance the undergraduate experience by promoting and supporting student-faculty collaborations in research, creative projects and scholarship.

The center will provide organizational services for on-going undergraduate research activities and encourage additional collaborations by promoting student research opportunities. Involvement in research has been shown to enhance the educational experience for undergraduates and the center will provide additional organization and visibility to our undergraduate research activities.  Having a Center for Undergraduate Research will improve the climate for academic success for our students.  Through active participation in faculty-mentored research, USM undergraduates will improve as creative and critical thinkers. 

Faculty interested in mentoring and collaborating with students are encouraged to affiliate with the center by providing information on student research opportunities. To affiliate with the center, follow this link.
