WELCOME

The Undergraduate Research Centers (URCs) at UCLA make research and creative inquiry an accessible and transformative part of the undergraduate experience. Together, the URCs serve students across all disciplines by connecting them with faculty, mentors, programs, and resources that prepare them for graduate study, professional pathways, and meaningful contributions to society.

Each year, the URCs collectively support 4,000 undergraduates through workshops, courses, scholarships, and intensive research programs. More than 1,700 students present their work annually at UCLA’s Undergraduate Research & Creativity Showcase, one of the largest university-based undergraduate research conferences in the nation.

We invite you to explore our websites to find out more about our programs and services. We look forward to meeting you!
