Providing top-tier undergraduate education
Providing exceptional undergraduate education isn’t just about offering the most advanced courses; it’s also about giving students the opportunity to utilize and hone the skills they are learning in real-world capacities. Our undergraduate research experiences prepare students for graduate coursework in mathematics as well as careers in industry, government, and business.

Illinois Mathematics Lab

Formerly known as the Illinois Geometry Lab, the Illinois Mathematics Lab’s mission is to enhance and support undergraduate research within the Department of Mathematics and engage local, state, and national communities through mathematics outreach.

Other opportunities for undergraduates in mathematics


Illinois Combinatorics Lab for Undergraduate Experiences (ICLUE)

This program, initiated in Spring 2017 by the combinatorics research training group at UIUC, is for undergraduate students who are seriously interested in graduate coursework in mathematics. Activities can take various forms, including research projects, combinatorics education initiatives (visiting local high schools), seminars with academic visitors, and conference travel.
