SUMMER RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES

What is Summer Research About?
A summer research program is an opportunity for undergraduates to get paid to work on a research project for the summer with a researcher. In many cases, participants also take various workshops or seminars related to the research and/or future opportunities such as graduate school. Sometimes these summer research programs have alternative titles such as summer internship or REU - Research Opportunity for Undergraduates. 

Why Should I Consider Participating in a Summer Research Opportunity?
  1. There are a number of reasons to undertake research projects in the summer
  2. As an opportunity to get involved with types of research you may not have here at California State University, East Bay
  3. To get a chance to see how a national laboratory or observatory runs
  4. To make contacts at other universities, laboratories, observatories (these may come in handy later if you go on to graduate school)
  5. To get a different perspective on the kind of research that exists in your field of interest
  6. To spend a summer somewhere really interesting
