Undergraduate Summer Research Exchange Program (SREP)

The Undergraduate Summer Research Exchange Program is a great way to gain research experience while working on special projects. Joining a partner university for about 12 weeks over the summer session, you’ll get hands-on lab and research experience, and a new global perspective.

See a complete list of summer research partner institutions, research projects and eligibility criteria on the Learning Abroad website.

Successful applicants under the Summer Research Program will receive funding to cover basic costs at the host institution. Funding is guaranteed for all students going under this program (up to $3,000). Learn more about funding here on the Learning Abroad website.
