Defining Undergraduate Research and Creative Work

"Undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative inquiry," according to the Council on Undergraduate Research, "is fundamentally a pedagogical approach to teaching and learning. With an emphasis on process, CUR defines undergraduate research as: A mentored investigation or creative inquiry conducted by undergraduates that seeks to make a scholarly or artistic contribution to knowledge."
