The Undergraduate Associates Program gives Miami students an opportunity to explore careers in academia by working closely with a faculty member. Typically, participants in the program work for a semester or a year assisting a faculty member with many of the tasks typically done in academic life (e.g., teaching, grading, attending governance meetings, engaging in research), but students and faculty members may also propose other creative ways of fulfilling the Undergraduate Associate Program requirements.
|
| Eligibility |
In order to participate in the UA Program, students must be sophomores, juniors or seniors and have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher and a faculty member with whom to work. Students do NOT need to be a member of the University Honors or University Scholars Programs to apply. You must also APPLY to the program and have your application approved prior to beginning the associateship.
Eligibility requirements are determined by the University Senate. Exceptions can be made only in extreme circumstances and must be approved by the faculty member's department chair and the University Honors Program director.
|
| Application Process |
| Applications to the Undergraduate Associates Program are accepted during the first three weeks of each semester. Please note: Application deadlines for the Undergraduate Associates Program are firm; applications submitted after the deadline will NOT be accepted. Completed applications should be submitted to the Honors & Scholars Program Office in 96 Bishop Hall. |
