Explorations Journal: NC Journal of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities

Originating in 2006 as a companion to the State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium, Explorations offers the opportunity for undergraduates at any 2- or 4-year college or university across the state to be published in a peer-reviewed journal and showcase their exciting work. Here we celebrate the ingenuity, creativity and engaged learning being undertaken by undergraduates throughout the state. The UNCW Honors Scholars Program/Center for the Support of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships is serving as the current home for Explorations.
The primary author or authors must be undergraduates at a 2- or 4- Year College or University in the state of North Carolina working on original research under the direction of a faculty mentor.
Students may submit research papers or literature/research reviews or media submissions related to the performing or fine arts. Submissions may be in the following areas: Humanities; Biological, Earth and Physical Sciences; Social Sciences; Technology and Engineering; Performance Arts; Visual Arts and Design; Business and Legal; Creative Writing and Discourse
The faculty mentor is responsible for securing blind reviews of the student’s submission before its submission for consideration by Explorations . Explorations requires three blind reviews for each submission and at least two must be from colleagues away from the home institution.

• We can accept submissions (Click Here) until May 1 . Please see the journal website for submission instructions or contact me at: Kate Bruce (csurf@uncw.edu) Detailed information is available at the Explorations website.
