UIR students have the opportunity to take special sections of English composition, calculus I and II, inorganic and organic chemistry, and introductory engineering courses. All UIR students take Introduction to Research in the fall of their first year. The purpose of the course is to provide students with an overview of topics related to research. Students in UIR take leadership in organizing events for the community on the hall. Students write for the UIR newsletter, organize intramural teams, work together on community service projects, and plan social events.
Students benefit from living together with peers interested in research.
They study and have fun together. UIR is committed to helping first year students make a successful transition into college.
