At Michigan, you can do research in the first semester of your freshman year. All you have to do is sign-up for the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP). UROP targets freshmen and sophomores. Five years ago, the program was opened to transfer students with an emphasis on those from community colleges. </p>
<p>UROP turns 25 this year. Today, more than 1,300 freshman/sophomore students and 700 faculty researchers are engaging in cutting-edge research under the program.</p>
