Highlander Undergraduate Research Institute

The Highlander Undergraduate Research Institute (HURI) was established in 2011 to promote student success by creating a culture of undergraduate research that will foster interactive student learning through discovery and exploration.

HURI encourages undergraduate student achievement in many ways, including supporting instructors in the development of case studies, sponsoring student poster sessions and providing multiple types of research in classroom settings.

HURI showcases student achievement by:

• Hosting the annual Student Research Summit each fall
• Assisting with Scholars Day each spring

MCC plans to extend HURI across all academic disciplines to encourage interdisciplinary interest, research and collaborations.

Research Options

Students can participate in and learn to conduct research in a variety of ways:

• Enroll in courses with embedded research
• Enroll in travel-based research courses
• Enroll in Academic Cooperative courses

For all of these options, students conduct independent/collaborative research on many different topics.

Faculty can participate in a variety of ways as well; please visit the faculty page for more information.
