UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH IN STEM (UR-STEM)

UR-STEM is a paid summer research opportunity for NKU students early in their college careers. At the culmination of the summer research, students gather at the Heather Bullen Summer Research Celebration to proudly display their research findings.

  • No GPA requirements
  • All majors are eligible (including non-STEM)
  • Students must enroll for the upcoming Fall Semester as a full-time NKU student by the start of the research opportunity.
  • Students that have participated in a paid or for-credit research experience are not eligible

Select students will be hired to work over the summer in the following project categories:

  • Part-time: $1,760 (20 hours/week for 8 weeks)
  • Mini-project: $440 (10 hours/week for 4 weeks)

Browse the menu below for more information on the UR-STEM process.
