Research

No matter what your curiosity, the Office of Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity (OUR) has a program to help you explore it. Whether you are in your first year at Pitt or nearing graduation, and no matter what your major or field of study, you can be a part of the meaningful research being done at Pitt. 

You may want to work closely with one of Pitt’s expert faculty members on their project, or you may want to propose a project of your own. No matter your path, you’ll grow as a researcher and a creative thinker while achieving significant academic milestones with the support of an OUR Undergraduate Mentor. All you need is a question and the desire to know more. So go ahead. Choose a program as your starting point. And see where you can go when you follow your curiosity.
