Abstract	The value of participation in undergraduate research (UR) in preparing students for future employment or graduate school is reaffirmed through an assessment of employeridentified essential learning outcomes (ELOs) and their relationship to skill sets learned through traditional courses compared with those gained through UR at Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU Denver), a four-year liberal arts institution of higher education. Traditional coursework required for the geoscience degree may not fully support the development of employer-valued essential learning outcomes (ELOs) unless it is enhanced by the integration of UR into the geoscience curriculum. Embedding UR-based modules throughout the geoscience curriculum, emphasizing quality faculty mentorship for students in UR, promoting active engagement by potential employers in UR internships and projects, and encouraging students to take ownership of their own UR opportunities all can enhance UR as a meaningful component of undergraduate education. The additional time commitment required to participate in UR in the geosciences is more than offset by the development of skill sets that benefit both students and employers by expanding the intersection between skills sought by employers and skills possessed by new graduates.
