TC Undergraduate Research Experience (TCURE)

 

TCURE provides Temple College students with an inquiry-based research opportunity in the natural sciences that fosters critical thinking, enriches the community college experience, and inspires the next generation of scientific scholars.

 

Graduating with Honors 

Biology, chemistry, geosciences, and physics majors that complete a research project with a research mentor and have a minimum GPA of 3.0 are eligible to graduate with Biological Honors, Chemistry Honors, Geosciences Honors, or Physics Honors (depending on your major).  This designation is reserved for outstanding students that want to stand above the rest, enhance their resume, and, in collaboration with their research mentor, answer research questions that contribute to the scientific field.
