How to Apply for NCUIRE Program
NCUIRE students need faculty mentors and are expected to find such mentors before submitting an application. Students can find mentors in many ways. Students might be asked to join a NCUIRE project from a professor or they might seek out faculty mentors on their own. To do so, students can talk with professors in their favorite class. Ask whether this faculty member wants to work with them on a NCUIRE project (point them to this website if they aren't aware of the program). Students can also look at what other New College faculty are doing and approach them (information on faculty interests can be found in the New College faculty directory).
