The URS program seeks to involve any eligible undergraduate in the “graduate student” experience by involving them in the academic research and publication process within a scholarly community to produce a thesis. Submissions from individuals or teams writing a joint thesis (max. of 5 students) are welcome.
This program ensures the unified format of undergraduate theses published at Texas A&M University. Undergraduate Research Scholars engage in a two-semester (Fall/Spring) research project conducted under the supervision of a Texas A&M University faculty mentor that culminates in a public presentation and written thesis. Throughout the academic year, students write theses in progression and must meet intermediate submission deadlines. These deadlines are specified in our program timeline and are meant to ensure that theses follow the formatting outlined in the Undergraduate Research Scholars Thesis Manual (see Resources below). Please take into consideration our final thesis deadline when planning your projects. All projects and theses must be completed within our program dates. Upon completion, theses are deposited into the Undergraduate Research Scholars collection in the Texas A&M University Libraries Digital Repository
