• Bridging Disciplines Program (BDP)
  The BDP allows students to develop a secondary area of specialization that complements their major. To earn a certificate, students complete 19 credit hours of interdisciplinary coursework combined with hands-on research, internships, or creative experiences. With 17 different concentrations, there’s something for everyone! More information can be found here.
• Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program (URAP)
  URAP provides students with structured research training in Liberal Arts. You’ll work closely with faculty mentors, gaining hands-on experience that prepares you for independent research before graduation. More information can be found here.
• Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program
  This competitive summer program selects 12 students from across the U.S. for an immersive, 8-week research experience focused on race, ethnicity, and the criminal justice system.
