Environmental Studies students at the University of Colorado Boulder are fortunate to be studying in a rich research environment. Field work opportunities and research activities are enhanced by faculty affiliation with various research facilities, including theÌý, theÌý, theÌý, and theÌýÌý(IBS). Many of the institutes are involved in interdisciplinary research and activities related to the environment. Prospective undergraduate student researchers should contact individual ENVS faculty and graduate students to inquire about research opportunities. Qualifications vary depending on the help needed.

Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP)

°Õ³ó±ðÌýÌý(UROP) offers students a chance to work alongside a faculty sponsor on original research. UROP was designed to create research partnerships between faculty and undergraduate students. "Research" in this context is interpreted as any scholarly or creative activity ranging from traditional scientific experimentation to the creation of new artistic works. Students participating in UROP might learn to write proposals, conduct research, pursue creative work, analyze data, and present the results. Undergraduates at all academic levels--freshmen through senior--can participate in UROP because of the broad range of initiatives that are offered. UROP is a campus-wide program, supporting students from all schools and colleges in all academic disciplines.
