Many liberal arts colleges have a long tradition of undergraduate research (UR) in the sciences. But only recently has any empirical evidence been available about the role of undergraduate research in students' personal and professional growth. I will present findings from a large interview study with students and faculty who participated in undergraduate research. A few provocative findings from a comparison group who did not participate in UR reveal whether and how these benefits can be gained from other sources.
