Student research

A selection of opportunities for students to get involved in research are listed below. 

Master's student opportunities

Research at the School of Information covers a broad spectrum characterized by highly collaborative projects. The diversity of faculty research projects is a great match for the many interests our MSI, MHI, and MADS students bring to UMSI. Learn about each of the faculty’s research interests to see if there is a match with your own research interests.

Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program

The Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) creates research partnerships between first- and second-year students and University of Michigan faculty and research scientists. All schools and colleges of the University of Michigan are active participants in UROP, thereby providing a wealth of research topics from which a student can choose.

Summer Research Opportunity Program

The University of Michigan Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) offers outstanding undergraduates underrepresented in their field of study the opportunity to conduct intensive research across a variety of disciplines. The goal is to prepare students for advanced studies in a PhD program at U-M.
