Undergraduate Research

 

Welcome to the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR)

The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) seeks to increase the number of students participating in and completing mentored undergraduate research and internship opportunities by collaborating with FAMU’s colleges and schools as well as external entities.  These opportunities are designed to encourage and motivate undergraduate students to fully leverage these unique extensions of their academic careers.  It is our intention, as a result of these experiences, to better position students to enter the workforce with applied knowledge and skills essential to their success.

OUR will enable students to easily access information about these offerings and apply for investigative projects and programs in which they have a keen interest.
