Working at the frontier of today’s most critical areas of inquiry, Rensselaer attracts roughly $103 million in research funding each year. We encourage undergraduate students from all five schools to become part of this exciting research, and to make research an integral part of their undergraduate education.

The Undergraduate Research Program (URP) provides undergraduate students the opportunity to work directly with faculty members on real-world, hands-on projects, either for academic credit or as a paid URP assistant.
