Whether you plan to go on to graduate school or a job in industry, doing undergraduate research will bolster your résumé and broaden your post-grad opportunities. 

Each year the College holds a special UROC job fair in which faculty talk about their research projects and describe the kinds of positions open to undergraduates.

Several options may be available including:

• Cash! (get paid)
• Credit! (elective credit)
• Karma! (volunteer)

Can I do interdisciplinary research?

Absolutely. If your advisor is from your home department, your reader may be from another department. If you wish to complete Research Option with a primary advisor not from your own degree program, then you need to write a short proposal explaining what sort of research you plan to do. This proposal must be approved by the UROC faculty committee. Before you write it up, email uroc@cc.gatech.edu and we'll set up an appointment to discuss your plans with you. All reasonable plans are approved.
