ABOUT MASSURC

For over three decades, the Massachusetts Undergraduate Research Conference (MassURC) has been a catalyst for academic exploration and innovation, bringing together undergraduate students from all corners of the Commonwealth. As we celebrate 31 years of MassURC, we reflect on a journey that has been shaped by the challenges and resilience of the past years.

MassURC goes beyond mere observation; it offers a unique opportunity to immerse in the diverse research undertaken by students across the Commonwealth. Across over sixty subject areas, including architecture, biochemistry, fine art, history, marketing, and sociology, we uncover the depth and breadth of students’ exploration.

Our conference is made possible through the support of Commonwealth Honors College at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education, the Massachusetts State Universities Council of Presidents, and the Massachusetts Association of Community Colleges.

Join us in commemorating 31 years of academic excellence and a promising future filled with student-driven research that shapes the world!
