Dear Colleagues,

Higher education research indicates that student engagement is the most critical factor in retention programs for undergraduate students. Among the high-impact practices, undergraduate research/experiential learning has been shown to have the most positive effects with regard to promoting student engagement. In this Special Issue of Education Sciences, we invite papers related to: teaching innovations incorporating research; training undergraduate research mentors; best practices in undergraduate research; undergraduate research as a high-impact practice; methods for better assessing students, programs, and faculty involved in undergraduate research; case studies; and models for engaging students in undergraduate research. Original research papers, reviews, commentaries, and cases studies are welcome.
