Welcome to URGE at NMSU! |
URGE is a group of undergraduate geology
students who are doing original research in geological sciences at NMSU. URGE
is intentionally loosely structured to maximize the research experience for everyone
involved. Some students work on funded research projects; others receive credit
for one or more semesters for their research. Others work on research projects
simply for the experience and to prepare themselves for graduate school or
employment. To open the URGE vision
statement, click here.
