The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship is a full time commitment. Fellows should not be employed or taking classes during the 12 weeks that they are conduction research in the Department. In addition to the research project, Summer Research Fellows participate in a weekly research discussion with a different faculty member each week.

Research Fellows also participate in a campus-wide undergraduate research program that includes students from biomedical sciences, chemistry, engineering, speech pathology and audiology, archaeology, etc. This involves 3 or 4 evening meetings during the summer and the preparation and presentation of a poster at the end of the summer.

A certificate is awarded to students upon completion of the summer program.
