Undergraduate Research Opportunities

The Honors Program is designed to provide an opportunity for a structured indepth study of a topic chosen by the student. Under the supervision of a faculty member who is expert in the student's thesis topic, Honors candidates will develop a formal research design, conduct a literature review, apply theories and research methodologies relevant to their study and author a thesis of publishable quality. Graduates of the IR Honors Program have found the experience invaluable in enhancing their writing, research and reasoning skills and preparing them for future graduate work.

SURF is an opportunity for USC College students to pursue undergraduate research, in collaboration with USC faculty, either on or off campus during the summer semester.

The SOAR program provides funding to undergraduates for participation as a research assistant in a faculty member’s project, or who wish to pursue a scholarly research project of their own choosing (sponsored and supervised by a faculty member).
