"The best learning happens when we allow students to take control of their own learning."-Shaadie Ali, URS Alumnus "URS has meant identifying issues in the world and learning how to use research to address those challenges."Ross Dahlke, URS Alumnus "It's meant challenging myself to engage in deeper conversation and expand my mindset and global view."Laura J. Miller, Alumna The Undergraduate Research Scholars (URS) program is a high-impact practice (HIP) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The URS program is for students who want to learn not only the hard and fast skills of their field but also want to acquire an interdisciplinary perspective on research, develop critical thinking, and grow as an informed citizen.The URS is made up of three key communities: Scholars, Fellows, and Mentors.Scholars are 1st- and 2nd- year students or transfer students who participate in the two-semester course Inter-LS 250: Undergraduate Research Experience.

Fellows attend weekly meetings to develop their skills as instructors and must attend the Inter-LS 315: Paradigms and Process in Academic Inquiry course during their first semester of fellowing.
