Student Research Overseas

 

Over the years the physics department has offered much more than the usual study abroad program: for several years, we partnered with universities in other countries to offer students summer undergraduate research experiences overseas. These were faculty -developed programs funded by the National Science Foundation and other external sources.

Students have lived and participated in research projects in China and Poland.  Often a life-changing experience, past participants report the excitement of  being part of the international effort in physics and all the new experiences they've had in a different culture. While these funded programs are currently unavailable, if you are interested in this kind of experience, let us know -- many of our professors have active collaborations with physicists in other countries, including China, Germany, France, and England, and opportunities for student research can be arranged.
