UROP affords undergraduates the unique educational experience of collaborating with a faculty member on the design and implementation of a project. It encourages students to conduct research and pursue academic interests outside of their regular courses by employing them to work on special projects. UROP applications are judged on the quality of the proposed project and the educational benefit to the student. Copies of UROP proposals submitted by UMC students that have been funded are on reserve in the library.
