Columbia Undergraduate Business Scholars

The mission of the Columbia Undergraduate Business Scholarship (CUBS) Program is to increase participation of students from underrepresented groups in business research.

CUBS are paired with faculty for whom they work as paid research assistants and, in the process, develop basic research and data-analytics skills, and gain insight into careers in academia.
