Undergraduate Research
Spurring the intellectual
curiosity of undergraduate
students through active participation in the discovery process is one of the
goals of the University Honors College.
Because meaningful research experiences promote
active learning through guided discovery, the
University Honors College offers the Undergraduate
Research Fellow (URF) Program.
This program encourages undergraduate participation in significant research experiences in all disciplines by fostering collaboration with faculty across campus and by providing funding for student researchers. A collaborative research fellowship project may be initiated by either a student or a faculty member.
Your two-semester
research experience will culminate with the creation
and presentation of a scholarly poster or paper at
the Texas Tech University Undergraduate Research
Conference, an event occurring each spring.
Your presentation enables you and other Fellows to share your work, to gain experience in formal scholarship/research presentations, and to bring visibility to undergraduate research at Texas Tech University. Poster and paper presentations will be reviewed by Texas Tech faculty and your URF peers.
