Undergraduate Research and Creative Studies (URCS) at BW enables the partnership of a student and a professor in a creative, hands-on approach to learning. Our programs provide the student/faculty teams with the resources necessary to conduct research and in-depth projects in all fields.

"[URCS] made me confident that what I learned my four years at BW will be useful to me after I graduate.  I also learned how to collaborate with faculty and students, as we combined our ideas together.  I learned to compromise on situations that I may have otherwise not have had to if I wasn't working in a group setting.  I think it's important to learn how to work with a group and collaborate with faculty and [URCS] taught me how to do that in a positive way." -MacKenzie Rohrbacher  (former URCS student participant)

 

"With graduate school being extremely competitive, student involvement in research provides [students] with an important educational experience that can provide them with a stronger application for graduate school.  Thank you for allowing me to continue to have the opportunity to be a part of the [URCS].  It is an outstanding program!" -Dr. Colleen Visconti (URCS faculty sponsor)
