Undergraduate Research Scholars Program
The Undergraduate Research Scholars Program is a one- to two-year program for juniors and seniors that provides a thorough grounding in “real world” research methods. Sophomores and juniors in the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences with a minimum GPA of 3.0 may apply.
As a participant in the Undergraduate Research Scholars Program, you will investigate a topic that interests you, owning your project from start to finish. In the process you will find yourself stretching and growing in ways you never dreamed possible as you join a vibrant and inspiring community of scholars at N.C. A&T and beyond.
How it works
Working closely with a faculty mentor, you will write a research proposal, create a work plan and budget, gather approvals from the university administration, buy materials, set up experiments or surveys, and collect and analyze data. You will write up and publish your findings and present them to colleagues at professional conferences. Scholars are paid for their time and supported in their travel to conferences.
As a researcher, you can be the first person in the world to discover the answer to a question. As a participant in the Undergraduate Research Scholars Program, you can become part of making a better future for us all. That’s the best reason to talk to your advisor or a faculty mentor about becoming a research scholar.
Please begin by browsing the list of faculty mentors and arrange a meeting with those whose research interests correspond with your long-term goals and career aspirations.
