How this program can help you:

For undergraduates interested in graduate school, it can sometimes be challenging to find meaningful research experiences that offer hands-on opportunities coupled with close work and mentoring with skilled faculty researchers. The REU program, is an ideal way to gain valuable research experience!

Participating in this experience-rich, hands-on research opportunity with faculty mentors committed to your success, the program will provide training to develop your research skills while increasing your marketability for admission to competitive graduate programs.

COVID Note: To date, the summer 2023 program is scheduled to be held in person – While we are hopeful that we will be able to offer an in-person experience for Summer 2023, we must follow regulations set by the university and local, state, and federal governments. We reserve the right to move from in-person participation to holding the program virtually based on the conditions and guidance from the university and local, state, and federal governments.
