About L.E.A.R.N

• Increase retention in the STEM disciplines.
• Provide an inquiry based/hands-on learning experience through an early research opportunity. Students will take an Introduction to Research course and serve as research apprentices with research groups in STEM areas.
• Offer a small learning community at a large research university. Students will get to know their cohort of peers through the living environment (i.e., residence hall) and also have university mentors including faculty, graduate students, and upperclassmen.
• The LEARN program will serve as a feeder for upper-level undergraduate research programs already developed (e.g., McNair Scholars) and graduate programs. LEARN students who are successful in the program will be recruited into several junior and senior level research programs at UCF.

This program is run by the UCF Office of Undergraduate Research in collaboration with UCF Housing and Residence Life.
