About the Research Experience Program
The Research Experience Program is one of three new undergraduate
initiatives at KU, (the other two being the Global Awareness
Program (GAP),
and the Service Learning Certification (SLC)).
As a major research university, KU should provide learning
opportunities grounded in a research tradition not found at smaller
universities or liberal arts colleges.
While there are many efforts underway to promote undergraduate
research experiences at KU, there has been no official recognition
on a student's university transcript of an identified research
experience.
The was Research Experience Program was created to address these
issues.
How to participate in the Research Experience Program
The Research Experience
Program summary contains information needed by your academic
department(s) to participate in this program.
Specifically, academic departments and programs will be responsible
for:
- designating a faculty member to serve as the unit's REP Contact
for the REP Coordinator,
- identifying the courses in their curriculum which could
be used to meet the Research/Creative Competency component
of the REP,
and
- approving discipline-specific research projects for the Independent
Research/Creative project component of the REP.
Academic departments and programs should encourage faculty members
to serve as advisors to students completing the Independent Research/Creative
component of the REP.
The department REP contact
should provide the REP coordinator
with a list of the department's REP courses
and approved discipline-specific research projects.
