The MARC program is selective and is only available to students who have been selected as MARC GatorSTAR scholars. MARC scholars typically begin their research and program coursework in the summer prior to their junior year, during which the scholars complete a summer research skills and ethics course and begin mentored research with a UF (“intramural”) program faculty mentor. The mentored research experience continues during the scholar’s junior year under the supervision of the UF program faculty mentor. In the summer prior to the scholar’s senior year, the scholar participates in full-time, off-campus research with an external faculty research mentor at an approved academic institution. The scholar then continues participation in mentored research with their UF program faculty mentor during the scholar’s senior year, culminating with the submission of an Honors Thesis.
