Research
If you work on an independent study project, you may choose a topic from a specific area of study or ask a professor to help you design a project tailored to your interests. Projects could include writing a play, doing laboratory research, or designing a space shuttle experiment. Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) sponsors undergraduate students who wish to work in partnership with a faculty member on a research or creative project.
