Welcome to the Center for Undergraduate Research!

Undergraduate research and creative activity at the University of Maine allows motivated and interested students to become critically engaged in a culture of independent learning and to participate in the creation of new knowledge. Through student-faculty collaborations and mentoring partnerships, students develop the tools and resources needed to achieve an authentic understanding of the research/creative activity endeavor, the pinnacle of an educational experience. This experience serves to foster lifelong pursuit and creation of new knowledge.

Undergraduate research, broadly defined and understood, incorporates current students into the fabric of the University and attracts prospective students who want to be active participants in their education. Undergraduate research/creative activity also provides an opportunity for faculty to expand their own research programs and enhance mentoring skills through training new members of their disciplines.
