Undergraduate Research Opportunities

Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program

From Aristotle and Plato to Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis H. Sullivan, students and their mentors have been collaborating to produce works of scholarly merit. The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), established at the University of Colorado Denver in 1994, enhances undergraduate education by funding students engaged in research, scholarly, creative, and entrepreneurial activities in collaboration with faculty at the downtown Denver campus of the University of Colorado Denver (UCD). Projects are either designed around the activities of a faculty member or designed independently by a student or team of students and endorsed by a faculty sponsor.
