Resources for Undergraduate Research 

 

The resources provided on this page help students increase their understanding of how to engage in undergraduate research. Our resources include various students' stories of how they've engaged in research, participated in graduate readiness programs that promoted research, and examples of how they shared their research at regional or national conferences. 

 

The page is divided into four sections: 

  • Introduction to Undergraduate Research Programs
  • Research Opportunities at Cal State Fullerton and other 4-Year Institutions
  • STEM Organizations and Conferences
  • Sharing Your Research 

 

Community college students attending Citrus College , Cypress College , Fullerton College , Golden West  College , Irvine Valley College, Orange Coast College, Santa Ana College , Saddleback College, or Santiago Canyon College who plan to transfer on or after Fall 2025 can apply for the Undergraduate Research Experience (URE) at California State University, Fullerton.
