Last Summer, over 250 undergraduate students participated in University of Minnesota campus-wide summer research programs. The students represented institutions and colleges from across the nation including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The Office of Undergraduate Research maintains information on summer research positions at the University of Minnesota as well as those nationwide. If you’re aware of a program we haven’t listed, let us know so we can include it.
