Our team is accepting applications for the spring 2025 term of the undergraduate research training course.
For Undergraduate Students
UR2PhD is building capacity in computer science to advance the representation of women and gender-marginalized students, especially those who identify as Black, Latinx, and Native/Indigenous.
The Undergraduate Research to PhD program (“UR2PhD”, pronounced ‘you are to PhD’) aims to ensure that undergraduate students have access to high-quality research opportunities, positive mentorship experiences, and information about graduate study and research pathways.
Program Features for Undergraduates
The UR2PhD program is comprised of three virtual activities for undergraduates:
Meet UR2PhD Students
Reflecting on the beginning of this experience, I would never have thought of myself able to conduct research in augmented reality. Not only did I do it, but I successfully finished it.
Before UR2PhD, I had never experienced research, but this program gave me a completely new perspective on myself and my career interests. It allowed me to put the theory from class into practice and boosted my confidence in applying CS skills outside the classroom.
