Undergraduate Research

Abington College Undergraduate Research Activities (ACURA)

It is the mission of ACURA to develop students who are critical thinkers and creative scholars by engagement in scientific experimentation, inquiry-based research, and exploration of the arts and humanities through a two- to three-semester research experience with our community of teacher-scholars.
