Undergraduate Research Journal at the University of Northern Colorado

The Undergraduate Research Journal at the University of Northern Colorado (URJ) is an interdisciplinary refereed journal that strives to recognize UNC undergraduates for their scholarly accomplishments and to stimulate their future scholarly activity.


Vol 1, No 1 (2011)

The fall issue of the Undergraduate Research Journal highlights the finalists for the Research Excellence Awards, which are given during Academic Excellence Week each spring semester.  Research Excellence Awards seek to encourage and reward those presentations that exemplify the highest levels of excellence in research.  Only limited presentations were accepted into the awards program and each presentation was evaluated by a team of faculty.
