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 2026 Research in Science Summer Program is expected to run Monday, June 1 - Friday, July 24, 2026.

• General Summer Research information, including full application requirements and process, is available at this link.
