UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES CONSORTIUM (UROC)

UROC is committed to helping students make the most of their undergraduate education and successfully enter and complete graduate studies. The types of experiences that help students achieve success in the job market upon graduation are the same as those that help them gain admission into graduate and professional schools. Before deciding the next move, it's important to plan.

Ask yourself the tough questions. Who am I? What are my skills? What do I like? What do I want to do?

Always strive to do well academically. Your GPA matters, especially at the beginning of your career. But what really matters is the depth and breadth of your knowledge and skills and your ability to apply and adapt that foundation to practical problems in your life and work over a lifetime.

Utilize the resources available to you. It's good to start with your friends and parents, and even Google. But don't stop there. Get to know your advisors and faculty members, and let them get to know you.

Explore your interests by setting goals for yourself and seeking internships and research experiences. Again, this is about you and what you like and what you want to do with your life. It is likely that you will meet more professionals at the UA than you will ever meet in one place again who care about your individual success and are trained in and passionate about helping you achieve your goals.

Intentionally explore occupations, fields of study and work. How could you ever possibly know what exists out there for you if you do not explore?
We frequently share admission tips, funding announcements, and program opportunities through social media.
