About the URC

Undergraduate Research at Minnesota State University, Mankato is supported by the Undergraduate Research Conference (URC). Research is an excellent way for students to become involved in an investigative/creative process and provides the opportunity for students to add to the growing body of information in a variety of fields. In addition, research facilitates student/faculty interaction as they work together on a project that reflects their field of interest. These experiences can tremendously strengthen the student’s applications for jobs, graduate schools, and professional schools.

The Undergraduate Research Conference will be held on April 23rd and 24th, 2007. Students will present their research utilizing a variety of forms including: poster sessions, presentations through software, oral presentations, or other creative forms.

The Undergraduate Research Conference is organized through the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, within the College of Graduate Studies and Research at Minnesota State University, Mankato. The Journal of Undergraduate Research is published annually following the Spring conference. Students are encouraged to submit their presentations to the Conference Proceedings Students will also have the opportunity to publish their research by submitting to the Journal of Undergraduate Research.
