Colgate University
Linda Blockus, Director of Undergraduate Research, University of
Missouri
Susan Larson, Associate Professor of Psychology, Director of
Undergraduate Research, Concordia College

Characteristics of Excellence in Undergraduate Research (COEUR) is
based on the collective experience, over many years, of CUR members
who have engaged undergraduate students in research, developed
undergraduate research programs, mentored new faculty to include
undergraduate research in their teaching repertoire, and coached
universities in the development of undergraduate research programs.
Roger Rowlett, Linda Blockus, and Susan Larson have drawn on this
extensive knowledge base to design an instrument to assist
institutions to self- assess the maturity of their undergraduate
research programs. The instrument aspires to present the best
practices in undergraduate research. It can be used as a guide for
institutions that are striving to enhance the learning experiences of
students through research. It can also be used as a beacon for
institutions that are in the beginning stages of developing an
undergraduate research program.
