Undergraduate Research

The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers many opportunities for undergraduates to get involved in research. The department participates in two main summer research programs:

• ​Summer Scholars/Summer Fellows: this is a university-wide program that provides the opportunity to work with a faculty member during the summer. For more details, please visit the Undergraduate Research Program website.​​ 
  

• GEMS: The program provides an opportunity to work jointly with a faculty member and a graduate student on a summer research project. For more information and a description of potential research projects see the GEMS website. 
• The department organizes Research Discovery Days in February to provide more information about the summer research programs. During these events, faculty members will talk about their research to help students interested in doing research find a mentor and a research project they would like to work on. Watch your emails for more information. We also encourage you to visit the individual websites of our faculty members to learn about their research areas.​
