Does Carolina offer research opportunities for undergraduates?
As a leading research university, Carolina is dedicated to fostering and encouraging research among all its students. Undergraduates not only receive instruction in the classroom from experts within their fields; they also enjoy the opportunity to conduct research alongside those experts as early as the first year. The Office of Undergraduate Research helps link students interested in research with professors and projects in their areas of interest. The office also serves to acknowledge and celebrate research conducted by undergraduates. Other research opportunities are available through individual departments and professors. The Burch Field Research Seminars showcase the intimate connection between faculty research and undergraduate education. The seminars take faculty and 10 to 15 students to locations throughout the nation and world to explore and to conduct research first hand.
