High school graduates who have not yet enrolled and students who have already received their bachelor's degrees are not eligible. Women, underrepresented minorities and first generation college students are especially encouraged to apply.
What are the experiences I can gain from the program?
You will acquire hands-on experiences by conducting experimental research in laboratories actively involved in the development of sensors and biosensors. The program will also provide guidance on preparation for graduate school and the graduate experience. In addition, thre will be a seminar series on ethics in science to highlight the importance of imposing a high standard of ethics in research endeavors. At the end of the internship, all students will communicate their results in poster presentations.
