What is CURCA Hub?
The Rutgers–Camden Undergraduate CURCA-Hub Research Database is an online database that provides updated information about the research opportunities available to undergraduate students at Rutgers–Camden. Its mission is to become an accessible gateway for student research and to facilitate meaningful engagement between faculty, staff, and students over a wide range of investigative experiences.
Why is it important to me?
CURCA-Hub is a space for undergraduate students to easily identify research opportunities available to them. Faculty will post brief descriptions of their projects and will also detail practical information such as the anticipated time commitment, modality, and type of opportunity. Students will have a full picture of the opportunity right from the start. If you are interested in getting involved, there is a downloadable PDF template available right on the site to easily allow you to contact the faculty member.
