Research Apprentice Badge
The Research Apprentice Badge is awarded to undergraduates who successfully complete the Research Apprenticeship Program (RAP).
RAP is a two-semester program that allows ANY WVU undergraduate with limited or no research experience to gain course credit and earn Federal Work-Study funds through undergraduate research apprenticeship with WVU research faculty.
Undergraduates from ALL majors are welcome to enroll. Apprentices will:
- Carry out investigations and/or creative inquiries alongside expert faculty mentors.
- Learn research and scholarly methods in their respective disciplines.
- Make scholarly or artistic contributions to knowledge.
Before the start of the program and with the help of the Office of Undergraduate Research, students need to secure a faculty mentor willing to supervise their progress throughout the semester.
Schedule an appointment with the Office of Undergraduate Research and learn how to get started!
