Pack Research Experience Program

The Pack Research Experience Program (PREP) is a research award for students with an academic standing of first-year or sophomore to join an existing research project under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Academic standing is based on total credits. Students unsure of their academic standing are encouraged to check with their academic advisors. Preference may be given to historically underrepresented or first-generation students.

Benefits of participating:

• Get paid while learning about research.
• Apply what you learn in the classroom to real issues.
• Develop skills and knowledge that can help you be a better student.
• Build a supportive community around you that includes faculty, staff and fellow students.
• Contribute to a team of researchers that are developing new knowledge.
• Build experience to apply for other undergraduate research opportunities, the McNair Scholars Program or even graduate school.
