Research Opportunities
for Undergraduates |
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.

Each year, UC’s outstanding student
researchers compete in a
systemwide competition that helps spotlight the many ways UC's
undergraduate research contributes to California. Faculty deans
select their top undergraduate researchers in the arts, humanities
and sciences. The winning research
projects are displayed at the State Capitol, where winners are honored
alongside their faculty advisors during the annual
‘UC Day’ in Sacramento,
at which alumni, donors and friends represent the University to
elected representatives.
