Student Research & Internships

Engineering Physics Student Research

The Engineering Physics program offers a distinctive opportunity unlike most programs in the country: student research embedded within the curriculum.

Sciences Summer Research Program

During the eight-week program, you will have the opportunity to work on original research with mentorship and guidance from distinguished faculty mentors.

The Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics & Computer Science, Psychology, Physics & Engineering, and Public Health Departments are dedicated to excellence in undergraduate research during the academic year and throughout the summer.

Sciences Summer Research Program welcomes current students, beginning the summer after their freshman year, regardless of research experience. During the eight-week program, you will have the opportunity to work on original research with mentorship and guidance from distinguished faculty mentors. The program provides stipends to participants to acknowledge their work in academia over the summer.

This program is funded by sources including the Brittain Biology Student Research Endowment, The Andy and Narcadean Buckner Biology Scholars Program, the Howard McCarley Biology Research Endowment, the Welch Foundation, and the Discovery Foundation.

Industry & Career Internships

Students in the engineering physics program will conduct real-world projects in their courses, qualify for competitive internships, and position themselves for full-time job placement in rewarding careers.
