Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP)

The Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) gives undergraduate students an opportunity to work closely with faculty mentors and peers on valuable research while developing valuable technical, critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills. SURP research projects are available throughout the College of Science & Mathematics (CSM) departments of Biological & Biomedical Sciences, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics & Astronomy, and Psychology and the School of Earth & Environment (SEE) departments of Environmental Science, Geography, Planning, & Sustainability, and Geology.

Selected students will be funded for 5 or 10 weeks of research, based on the professor’s research project length.  Research projects run between late May through early August. To enrich and complement the research activities happening over the summer, CSM hosts several free events, such as socials, workshops, and a poster symposium, that SURP students participate in. SURP is a great chance to grow your professional skills and join a vibrant research community!
