The Terry Opportunities for Undergraduate Research (TOUR) initiative is part of the Terry Strategic Plan, designed to:
- Engage Terry undergraduate students in faculty research
- Provide exposure to data and analytical skills
- Encourage continued educational pathways
Time Commitment
Students can work across semesters within the same academic year and continue into the summer if enrolled, but cannot not carry hours to the next academic year. TOUR hours can renew after students complete the initial 100 hours.
