Undergraduate Research

At the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, undergraduate research is actively promoted and students have various opportunities to get involved. In the School of Computing, all major research groups work with undergraduates. We welcome upperclass students with a strong GPA and work ethic to meet with faculty in areas of study that interest them.

Undergraduate Research

The university's Undergraduate Creative Activities And Research Experience At Nebraska program pairs undergraduate students with faculty, providing a unique educational experience by allowing students to be involved in ongoing research or other creative activities.
