The SDSU Undergraduate RSCA Program (SURP) promotes, broadens and supports student participation in undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activities (RSCA) through high impact practices.

SURP-match

Why participate in undergraduate research? Getting additional experience might be necessary to help you be competitive for the best jobs or graduate school programs. Learning by doing is a great way to get more out of your degree. Being mentored by professors or graduate students is valuable and can provide hands-on applications outside of the classroom. You might learn something that will change your perspective and ignite a passion for discovery and your future career choices. Your work can contribute to discoveries, interventions and creative works that make a positive impact on the world.

The SURP-match is intended to pair mentors and students to work together on a research, scholarship or creative project. If you have never participated in research or do not currently have a mentor, we encourage you to apply to SURP-match.
