The Mitchell College of Business is pleased to announce that five undergraduate students have been accepted into the Â鶹ֱ²¥â€™s 2021 Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF). This program is designed to give students a hands-on learning experience and exposure to basic research, scholarly and creative activities. This year, the Mitchell College of Business submitted the most applicants to-date with an outstanding 100% acceptance rate. Of the five students accepted into the program, each academic department within the college is being represented: Marketing and Quantitative Methods, Management, Accounting, and Economics, Finance, and Real Estate.  

Student fellows must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree program with a 3.0 minimum GPA, working 20 hours per week over the course of the 10-week program. Research findings will be presented at the Undergraduate Research Symposium on October 28th, 2021. Each fellow will be guided through the program by a faculty mentor.

The College would like to congratulate this year’s MCOB SURF recipient.
