M 490 - Undergraduate Research

(Variable)

This course is designed for students involved in directed research projects and is required for participants in the Undergraduate Research Program (URP). This course can be repeated. Students will be required to prepare a formal paper and present their results. A faculty member must advise the project. Pending the number of credits taken, graduation requirements, and as demanded of the research advisor, other requirements may be needed. To participate in URP, students must submit a proposal for a research project to the Undergraduate Research Committee and meet other requirements as listed in URP guidelines. Proposals are evaluated competitively and winners will receive a stipend. URP participants must register for this class in the Spring for at least one credit in order to present their findings in the annual Undergraduate Research Conference. A call for proposals is made at the beginning of the Spring Semester. Another call may be offered in the Fall Semester.

Course generally offered year round.
