The Connection!

 At MU, we believe that undergraduate research and creative scholarship involves a key relationship between faculty and students developed through informal and formal learning experiences. Faculty facilitate student ownership in scholarly processes and products, encourage students to become a member of a scholarly community, help students make contributions to oneself or a field of study, and support students’ career development and preparation. 

MU defines undergraduate research as student engagement in scholarship (e.g., research, creative, or professional projects) designed to lead to generalizable knowledge or other such outcomes as may occur in a particular field of study. It is a faculty-mentored experience using approaches, methods, and analysis appropriate to the discipline. 

Mission: Since its establishment in 2003, the Office of Undergraduate Research fosters and supports mentored undergraduate research, scholarship and creative activity in a premiere research environment. 

Vision: Mizzou will advance a culture where all undergraduates engage in a high quality research or creative scholarship experience.
