UROP
Students arrive at MIT with abounding intelligence, curiosity, and creativity — and a commitment to change the world. Since 1969, UROP — the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program — has provided students with the chance to do just that.
Through UROP, undergraduate students work directly with faculty in cutting-edge research, in partnerships that range from one-on-one student-faculty collaborations to interdisciplinary teams with faculty and other researchers. Students gain valuable hands-on experience, and enjoy direct mentoring relationships with faculty and graduate students.
As part of its commitment to enhancing the undergraduate educational commons, MIT has established these priorities for UROP going forward:
- Extend participation in wold-class research to all interested MIT undergraduates;
- match undergrads with faculty mentors and expose them to real-world problems;
- provide funding for all students requesting UROP support;
- allow undergraduates to explore fields different from their own; and
- sharpen skills vital to career success through hands-on learning.
