Undergraduate Research at DSU

Mission Statement

The Undergraduate Research Committee (URC) at Dixie State University of Utah promotes and celebrates undergraduate research. Our students, guided by faculty advisers, are increasingly engaged in research on campus and attend undergraduate research conferences each year. The URC provides a community and platform to those who would like to share their research, to attend undergraduate conferences, or to present their research or creative work in an academic setting.

The purpose of this web site is to make visitors aware of ongoing research at DSU. You will find links to sample abstracts and successful recent conference presentations. We have also included contact information of faculty advisers and students presenting at various conferences. We encourage all of our students to give research a try. In turn, we will do our best to make sure that you have a fulfilling research experience here.
