Research & Creativity Symposium

Held annually in April, the North Carolina A&T State University Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium (URCS) is a university-wide showcase of research and creative inquiry projects completed by undergraduate students of all levels from all colleges and departments in the university. Students who have engaged in faculty-mentored research or creative inquiry are encouraged to consider presenting. Presenting at the URCS counts toward completion of the requirements for the Undergraduate Research Graduation Cord. 

Submission Instructions 

During the submission process students are asked to confirm faculty approval of the students’ research projects and abstracts.  Shortly after the submission deadline, faculty may be contacted to confirm the student’s status. The work presented can range from in-class projects to year-long honors theses and everything in between.
