What types of projects can be done during a Semester UTRA?
Students awarded a Semester UTRA can complete the same kind of research projects awarded for the summer. Because the Semester UTRA is 120 hours, roughly one-third of the time of the summer UTRA—projects will need to be more focused so that they can be completed —or at least complete one phase — in the shorter period of time. Students can undertake research for a course design or revision; they may create annotated bibliographies, do ethnographic research, lab research, archival research, etc. But the specific schedule of the work will be required to show that the project can be completed in the time allowed.
