Exceptional Undergraduate Research Experiences!

Because the University of Nebraska is both a Land Grant and AAU Research University, students have outstanding opportunities to work with faculty who are doing cutting-edge research in their fields.

Students can apply for research grants through the Undergraduate Creative Activities and Research Experiences (UCARE) Program.
