Student Researchers: Get Involved
The
Maryland
Student Researchers Program provides an opportunity for
all students to work with faculty mentors on ongoing research.
All you need to be is motivated, curious, and responsible! Students
new to research as well as students with previous research experience
have found this to be an interesting and rewarding experience. Go
to the Maryland Center
for Undergraduate Research, 2100D McKeldin Library for
more information.
Honors
in ENSP
The
Environmental Science and Policy (ENSP) Honors Program
provides opportunities for interested, capable, and energetic
undergraduates to engage in independent study under the guidance
of an ENSP faculty member. To be considered for admission, students
must have 45-75 credits, a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher and
a 3.5 or higher in all courses required for the ENSP core and
concentration. Transfer students with equivalent academic records
(GPA and credits completed), are also eligible to apply.
REU:
Research Experiences for Undergraduates
REUs
are excellent opportunities for highly qualified students who
want to explore a career in research. Typically, each site selects
10-15 students from across the country; and provides housing,
social activities, and a $3,500+ stipend. The schools listed below
are a sampling of what's available. See the full NSF/REU Program list HERE.
