Course based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) have been shown to be highly effective in terms of student achievement and persistence and offer the opportunity to allow every student in a program to experience first hand the scientific process as an integral part of their education. Furthermore they are cost effective ($$ and faculty time) and don’t require students to commit to time outside their usual academic schedule (often a barrier to under-represented students).
