The MTSU Undergraduate Research Center was created in 2004 to promote research at the undergraduate level, and to provide university support for undergraduate students and the faculty members who mentor them in scholarly and creative activities. This includes providing information and financial support through grants.
Although the URC administers the university funds dedicated to undergraduate research through Undergraduate Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity (URSCA) grants, the URSCA Committee evaluates proposals based on merit. This committee is composed of accomplished and passionate faculty representatives from all 5 colleges at MTSU. Externally-funded programs that involve undergraduate research on campus include: McNair, TLSAMP, and STEP-MT.

URC Vision:
The URC is pursuing its vision to nuture a culture of research and creative activity at MTSU through support for undergraduate students and their faculty mentors.
