Summer Programs

Rochester is a National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates Site, providing funding for a number of students every summer. Summer research students have their own research problem, a specific faculty advisor and a specific day-to-day graduate student or postdoctoral mentor. Everybody participates in a weekly group meeting, reporting to each other on their research projects and results in oral, poster, and written form. Discussions of careers, graduate work, and scientific ethics with faculty and graduate students is also part of the experience. Please select from the programs listed at right to learn more.
