Kinesiology Undergraduate Research Opportunity (KUROP)

KUROP is a joint venture between the School of Kinesiology and U-M's Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP). The goal is to promote research as a valuable component of undergraduate education.

KUROP participants select from a campus-wide catalog of projects* and interview with the faculty member in charge of the project. If selected for the program, you and your faculty mentor will conduct research important to the field of Kinesiology.

The KUROP experience allows you to apply classroom knowledge to "real world" Kinesiology issues, enabling you to use advanced technology and collaborate with prominent researchers.

How to apply for KUROP:

• Students should contact UROP for an application.
• When you register for classes, the KUROP course number is 280 (MOVESCI 280, PHYSED 280, and SM 280). Be sure to indicate your faculty mentor and the number of credits you're registering for.

* to be enrolled in KUROP, Kinesiology students should choose a Kinesiology project; however, students should feel free to choose projects that are interesting regardless of department or school in which the research is being conducted.
