The Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (URAP) provides an opportunity for Berkeley undergraduates to work one-on-one with faculty members on the cutting-edge research projects for which Berkeley is world-renowned. Students meet regularly with faculty for research mentoring and earn 1 unit of academic credit for each 3 hours of research work (limited to 4 units per term). The program is designed to stimulate awareness of advanced research and interest in graduate study. Students are not paid for their participation.
Please Note...
You may submit applications for no more than three URAP projects, so please read the descriptions carefully and choose the project or projects that best suit your interests and abilities.
You may work on only ONE URAP project in a semester. If you are selected for more than one project, you should make your choice quickly and advise faculty immediately of your plans so that another student may be engaged to work on the project you decline. You will gain more by spending additional time on a single project, and going into greater depth in your research involvement, than by spreading yourself thinly
