Undergraduate Research & Creative Activity

Designated as a Carnegie Research 1 University, the University of Louisville gives you the opportunity to partner with internationally renowned faculty who work at the forefront of discovery in their respective disciplines.

Participation in research and creative activity involves a collaborative partnership between a student and a faculty or graduate student mentor. The partnership may be initiated by a student who seeks out a research mentor, or by faculty member may recruit students to work in their labs or creative spaces.

The Office for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity can help you get involved and support your participation in a number of ways.

Undergraduate Research & Creative Activity Programs

Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP)

The Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) provides University of Louisville undergraduate students an intensive 10-week research experience with a faculty mentor in any discipline (students in the arts and humanities students are particularly encouraged to apply). 

Undergraduate Arts & Research Showcase

The university-wide Undergraduate Arts & Research Showcase provides an opportunity for undergraduates to share their expertise with the larger university community. This showcase will show the variety of academic work that our undergraduate students are doing across the university. We encourage participation from all colleges and departments.

ACC Meeting of the Minds

Undergraduate students are invited to participate in the 2025 ACC Meeting of the Minds Conference at the University of Pittsburgh. Each ACC school will send five students to give presentations on original research in either a poster or oral format. 

Posters at the Capitol

With unique research projects on display, Posters-at-the-Capitol helps to increase understanding of the important role undergraduate research plays in the education of our students among those responsible for higher education funding in Kentucky. This annual event showcases faculty-mentored scholarly posters by undergraduate students from each state-funded university in the Commonwealth.
