This program seeks to involve eligible undergraduates in the “graduate student” experience by introducing them to the academic publication process and scholarly community. Submissions from teams writing a joint thesis (maximum of 5 students) are also welcome. This program also serves to standardize the format of undergraduate theses published at Texas A&M University.
Under the supervision of a Texas A&M University faculty mentor, Undergraduate Research Scholars engage in a two-semester (fall-to-spring) research project that culminates in a public presentation and written thesis. Throughout the academic year, students write theses in progression and must meet intermediate submission deadlines. All projects and theses must be completed within our program dates.
