About the Research Experience Program

The Research Experience Program (REP) is one of three undergraduate certificate programs at KU aimed at providing official recognition of an identified experience on a student’s academic transcript.  The other two are the Global Awareness Program http://www.international.ku.edu/gap/ and the in Service Learning Program http://www.servicelearning.ku.edu/certification.shtml.  REP provides KU students with a unique learning opportunity grounded in KU’s role as a major national research university.
