Undergraduate Student Opportunities in Academic Research (USOAR)

The Undergraduate Student Opportunities in Academic Research (USOAR) program provides paid research experience to rising 1st year, 2nd year, and transfer students without significant experience in research. Students conduct research 5-10 hours per week under the mentorship of a faculty advisor, and take a one-credit class: Introduction to Academic Research. Positions are available in many fields, including in the humanities and social sciences. USOAR seeks to attract students with financial need and from underrepresented populations and provide them with a path into research.
