McCombs Undergraduate Research Assistant Program

We are pleased to announce the continued success of the McCombs Undergraduate Research Assistant (URAs) program. This initiative is designed to support faculty in advancing their research agendas while fostering undergraduate engagement with academic inquiry and scholarship.

Faculty members are eligible to appoint up to two URAs to assist with their research projects. A curated database of BBA students who have expressed interest in serving as research assistants is available for faculty review. To access the list of prospective URAs, please use this link.

Once you have identified students you wish to collaborate with, kindly send your selection via email to ADResearch@mccombs.utexas.edu.

We appreciate your commitment to mentoring undergraduate researchers and contributing to the scholarly community at McCombs.
