Summer Research Support for Undergraduates

Each summer, the CIS runs a summer research program across the sciences that hosts more than 100 Wesleyan undergraduates.  In addition to faculty mentored independent research, we offer a weekly seminar series, skills workshops, and the summer culminates with a poster session with presentations of research by all students. Financial support is available for students enrolled at Wesleyan.

The 2025 Research in Science Summer Program will be held Monday, June 2 - Friday, July 25, 2025.

• General Summer Research information, including full application requirements and process, is available at this link.
• The Application for Summer 2025 is now closed. Students will be notified in early April.
• Please refer to the FAQ for more information. Any additional questions may be sent to scienceresearch@wesleyan.edu. 

Moodle

Summer research students will have access to our Moodle web site which provides information about the summer program including details of our summer workshops and poster session.
