Undergraduate research is an inquiry or investigation conducted by an undergraduate student that makes an intellectual or creative contribution to the discipline. Funding is available for students to engage in research and travel to conferences to present their research. Wartburg College Undergraduate Research (WCUR) provides resources for faculty working with students as well as conference listings and publications that accept student submissions.
Why participate in undergraduate research?
The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR)
CUR conducts numerous events each year for faculty and administrators and a conference every other year in June. In addition CUR sponsors Posters on the Hill, an opportunity for students to present poster sessions to the U.S. Congress and the Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowship Program.
NationalConferences on Undergraduate Research (NCUR®)
The main focus of NCUR is to provide undergraduate students with the opportunity to present at a national conference (see above). This organization encourages undergraduate research in all disciplines.
