The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Center (UROC) was established in spring 2014, with a mission to encourage and facilitate faculty-mentored undergraduate research projects and creative activities across all academic disciplines. Regardless of major or future career choice, involvement in such activities provided development in understanding and applying research methods or creative principles to enhance students’ critical analysis, problem solving, and communication skills.
 
UROC offers a wide variety of services to prepare students to engage in research, including paid research training and graduate preparation, access to research opportunities/listings through the UROC Research Portal, diversity and leadership seminars, an annual summer undergraduate research symposium. The UROC Scholars develop a community of academically focused peers to provide academic mentorship, leadership and professional training. For more information please visit uroc.ucmerced.edu.
