UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES

Scholastic Enhancement Program – Undergraduate Research Option

URO (Undergraduate Research Option) is a living, learning research community open to first-year students who are part of the Scholastic Enhancement (SEP) program. It is a small community of students who live together in a common first-year residence hall. Each student is paired with a faculty sponsor who engages the student in some aspect of his/her research. The mission of the undergraduate research option is to improve the achievement and retention of SEP students in a residential setting through research partnerships with faculty during their first year at Miami University.
