What is Undergraduate Research?
At Carolina, we define undergraduate research as mentored, self-directed work that enables individual students
or small groups of students to explore an issue of interest to them, and communicate the results to others. The projects
involve inquiry, design, investigation, research, scholarship, discovery, application, writing and/or performance to a
greater or
lesser degree depending on the topic. There is often an immediate connection to a local, national, or international issue,
and an increasing appreciation of the value of multidisciplinary approaches.
