How to Get Involved in Undergraduate Research

Every student at MSU Texas can engage in undergraduate research and our office offers a variety of opportunities for involvement in research and creative activities. Please contact us or stop by our campus office so we can help you get started on your journey! 

EURECA Scholars Program

The Enhancing Undergraduate Research Endeavors and Creative Activities (EURECA) program was established in 2013 to provide funding, support, and programming for students to engage in high-quality research and creative activities in an interdisciplinary environment. During the academic year, student scholars find and work with faculty mentors on research projects and creative activities aligned with their interests. Students and mentors have access to research funding to support their projects and presentations. The cornerstone of EURECA is the development of strong mentoring and collaborative partnerships between students and faculty. Graduate students may also be mentors.

UGROW Summer Research Program

Undergraduate Research Opportunities and Summer Workshop (UGROW) is MSU’s faculty-led, student-executed intensive summer research program. As in years past, UGROW will provide a venue in which faculty mentor full-time engagement from one or possibly two students, facilitating student exposure to research techniques, as well as opportunities for presentation and interaction.
