Research opportunities for undergraduates in all fields are a valuable component of the educational environment at the University of California. UC's undergraduate research also helps the state in a number of areas: It prepares students for careers in science and technology, the cornerstones of California's new economy, and provides opportunities for students to study firsthand the complex social issues facing California. Undergraduate research inspires a new generation of qualified students to engage in the kind of high-level graduate work that ensures continued innovation in California's leading industries. These experiences also help prepare better-informed and prepared teachers who are committed to solving real-life problems in California's classrooms.
