Welcome to the Office of Undergraduate Research
Established in the Fall of 2023, the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) at CSUN is committed to promoting a culture of curiosity and discovery among all undergraduate students.
OUR aims to become a central resource at CSUN, promoting and supporting student involvement in research activities and creative scholarship. OUR serves as a bridge between students and faculty and fosters an environment where students can enhance their educational experience through research, critical thinking, and hands-on learning. OUR helps to prepare students for professional careers, advanced graduate study, and civic engagement. OUR will continuously grow over the next few years to provide resources and guidance to students seeking to explore academic research, collaborate with faculty, and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in their respective field.
