UROC Fellows

uroc in blue letters

The UROC Fellows Program, run by the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Center (UROC), a unit within the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) at CSUF, supports undergraduates in faculty-mentored research and creative projects across all disciplines. The fellowship allows students to explore their academic interests in depth while strengthening their research and creative skills and gaining a deeper understanding of the research process.

Fellows commit significant time to their work—300 hours for semester awards and 600 hours for academic year awards—under the guidance of faculty mentors, building both expertise and a strong sense of ownership over their projects.
