These intensive summer research programs are offered by selected departments and centers in the College of Arts and Sciences. Though REU programs vary among departments, they typically last eight weeks and include opportunities for participants to work closely with a faculty mentor on a research project and present their findings at the conclusion of the program.
If you're interested in conducting research in a particular area of study within the College, check with the department to see if it offers an REU program in that area. Units that have offered REU programs recently include the Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior, the Department of Mathematics, and the Department of Physics.
