Undergraduate Research
Undergraduate research aims to expand opportunities for students to engage in faculty-led research, advancing their skills while fostering curiosity and meaningful learning experiences. It seeks to cultivate a community where students and faculty collaborate on research that promotes discovery, leadership, and responsibility, reflecting core values of The University of Texas at Austin. These experiences extend beyond the classroom, transforming students’ lives and preparing them to make a positive impact in the world.
Research is for everyone. Students can participate at any time during their undergraduate years, from program that connect you to faculty-led research projects to independent research that culminates in a thesis. No matter your level of experience or major, there are many ways to get involved.
