Undergraduate Research Opportunities, Resources, and Support

Click on the links below to learn more about undergraduate student research opportunities in mathematics:.

Berkeley Mathematics Directed Reading Program (DRP)  

The Directed Reading Program provides undergraduates with the opportunity to work closely with UC Berkeley Mathematics graduate students in an independent reading project in the fall and spring semesters. The aim of the program is to equip students with the tools necessary to delve into sophisticated mathematics, to foster relationships between undergraduates and graduate students, and to provide students with a valuable opportunity to practice presenting mathematical ideas, both in conversation and public presentations. 

Berkeley Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships (SURF)  

The SURF program consists of five paid summer research fellowship programs: 1) SURF L&S 2) SURF Rose Hills 3) SURF-SMART 4) UROC-Gates Foundation Fellows 5) SURF Math Team Fellowship. In addition to receiving funding, summer fellows from all five programs are assigned to a small peer group, which meets periodically throughout the summer. Each small group is led by a SURF Advisor. Although primary guidance in research will come from individual faculty/graduate student mentors, the small group meetings build community within the SURF cohort, connecting students with peers who are grappling with similar issues. SURF fellows also benefit from attending professional development and skills-building workshops. International and undocumented students are eligible to participate. 

Haas Scholars Program  

The Haas Scholars Program was founded in 1997 through the generous vision of Robert and Colleen Haas. Each year, twenty highly qualified, academically talented undergraduates with financial need come together to build a supportive intellectual community during their final year at UC-Berkeley. Applicants are evaluated primarily on the merit and originality of their proposal for an independent research or creative project that will serve as the basis for a senior or honors thesis. Once selected, Haas Scholars receive close mentoring from members of the UC-Berkeley faculty, seminars and workshops to assist them in the research and writing process, the opportunity to present their work at a professional conference, and up to $13,800 each in financial support. International students and undocumented students are welcome and encouraged to apply.  

Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (URAP)  

 The Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (URAP) is designed to involve Berkeley undergraduates more deeply in the research life of the University. The Program provides opportunities for you to work with faculty and staff researchers on the cutting edge research projects for which Berkeley is world-renowned. Working closely with mentors, you will deepen your knowledge and skills in areas of special interest, while experiencing what it means to be part of an intellectual community engaged in research. 

New research opportunities are open at the start of each semester; student applications are due the second week of instruction.  

Mathematical Sciences Research Institution Undergraduate Program (MSRI-UP)

MSRI-UP is a comprehensive summer program designed for talented undergraduate students, especially those from groups underrepresented in the mathematical sciences, who are interested in mathematics and make available to them meaningful research opportunities, the necessary skills and knowledge to participate in successful collaborations, and a community of academic peers and mentors who can advise, encourage and support them through a successful graduate program. At this time only U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible to apply. 

National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduate Students (NSF REU)

NSF funds a large number of research opportunities for undergraduate students through its REU Sites program. An REU Site consists of a group of ten or so undergraduates who work in the research programs of the host institution. Each student is associated with a specific research project, where he/she works closely with the faculty and other researchers. Students are granted stipends and, in many cases, assistance with housing and travel. Undergraduate students supported with NSF funds must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or its possessions. An REU Site may be at either a US or foreign location. To find Mathematical Sciences REU sites  click here .  

Interested in publishing your research? 

Berkeley Scientific Journal  

Berkeley Scientific is the undergraduate science journal of the University of California, Berkeley. Every semester, the undergraduate staff publishes independent research done by undergraduates at UC Berkeley, interviews with faculty members, reviews of recent scientific publications (books), and articles on current issues in science. All research papers are faculty-reviewed, and all interviews are conducted by the staff. The focus of the journal is broad, spanning scientific disciplines from ecology to engineering, from astronomy to biochemistry. 

Need additional support?

Have questions about other research opportunities on and off campus? Visit the  Office of Undergraduate Research and Scholarships  (OURS) for additional resources and support.  

OURS is UC Berkeley’s hub for undergraduate research and prestigious scholarships.  Established in 1997, OURS seeks to integrate undergraduates more fully into the dynamic and diverse research life of UC Berkeley. The center does so through a wide range of programs, workshops, partnerships, and communication platforms.

Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)

On occasion, individual faculty attach a Research Experience For Undergraduates (REU) onto their current research. Currently there are no REU's offered in this department. However, there are many mathematics-specific REU’s available across the country supported by the National Science Foundation .

Young Mathematicians Conference (YMC)

The YMC is a annual conference for undergraduate student researchers in mathematics. Talks and poster presentations are given by the students of their results and discoveries.  They also discuss research ideas and experiences with their peers at the conference.

Students involved in REU's and similar research programs from all over the United States apply each summer to actively participate in YMC. Accepted students (typically around 70) are invited with full support to the conference.  It is held during a weekend in August at the Department of Mathematics of The Ohio State University.  See YMC for more information.

Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry (URCI)

The Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry helps students pursue research opportunities at The Ohio State University. Research can be conducted independently, as part of a team, in collaboration with faculty, here at the university or elsewhere. The URCI website includes information about getting started with research, how to find research opportunities, what's involved in presenting your work, and a variety of other information sources for undergraduates interested in making research a part of their college experience.

TBD
3 credits
$500 (Notice that this is a class, so regular tuition policies apply.)

Interested students should definitely have mastery over the standard calculus series (MATH 1210 and 1220 and 2210 or equivalent) as well as a first course in differential equations and/or linear algebra (MATH 2250 or 2270 or 2280 or equivalent). It is also preferable that the student has mastery over material covered in a single-variable advanced calculus course (MATH 3210 or equivalent) as we will be using many epsilon-delta arguments. Familiarity with topology and measure theory of metric spaces will be beneficial but not necessary as we will develop what we need in the course.

Introduction to Research Projects

Applications are due the first friday of each semester .  applications will be considered on a rolling basis as they come in., see below for instructions..

The student works with a faculty mentor on exploring an area of mathematics not usually taught in standard classes. Mentor and advisor meet weekly throughout the semester to discuss topics from relevant text or journal article readings. These projects may sometimes be appropriate as preludes to independent projects, in cases where the ultimate research area requires a lot of prerequisite knowledge. At the end of the semester, the student produces a final expository paper on aspects of their research.

Up to $1000 in Fall or Spring.

Up to $750 in the Summer.

During the semester meet regularly with mentor (at least weekly), and generate an expository paper summarizing what you learned. You are also encouraged to give a presentation in our symposium, which is usually held on the Reading Day before final exams begin.
You may take Introduction to Research as a class (up to 3 credit hours). Please specify that in your application(The course number will be 5910. Normal tuition policies apply. You can count this course towards university Upper Division Hour requirements, but not as an elective for your math/applied math major. Note that a section needs to be created for you and your mentor, so  !).

Application Instructions:

See this file for instructions.

Independent REU Projects

Applications are due the first friday of each semester.  applications will be considered on a rolling basis as they come in..

Work on a research project in Mathematics under the mentorship of a faculty member. You must have a member of the Mathematics faculty who is willing to serve as your mentor. Discuss with the prospective mentor the scope and design of your project and prepare a project description.

Up to $1,500 for Fall and Spring semesters. For the Summer, the amounts are multiplied by 3/4. Continued funding depends on the student's performance in the previously funded REU activities.

Meet regularly with mentor, give a talk with slides, write a report, and submit an evaluation. Your work, presentation, and report will be evaluated by Mathematics faculty.
10 hours per week, on average

Science Research Initiative (SRI)

Within the College of Science

The SRI is a program for first- and second-year students that enables them to start working in an SRI stream, or research experience, at the beginning of their journey at the University of Utah. This program assumes incoming students will not have any college-level research experience; instead, you will learn alongside your fellow students to gain research skills, technical experience, and the unique opportunity to learn from faculty.

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH SCHOLAR DESIGNATION

Students fulfilling certain qualifications may have the designation of "Undergraduate Research Scholar" appear in the awards section of their transcript. For more information visit the Undergraduate Research Scholar Designation (URSD) webpage.

Why? An independent research project is excellent preparation for graduate school, teaching, research, or a job in industry. It is also fun and challenging. You will learn things in a completely new way when you work independently, but with the help of a faculty mentor.

How? Choose an undergraduate research advisor (a faculty member) and a problem or topic to work on. If you desire, you may apply for funding, either through the Mathematics department REU program (see above) or the Office of Undergraduate Studies' UROP program.

What? Whatever you do --- solve a problem, prove a theorem, develop a computer model, find a new way of teaching or explaining a topic -- you will write up the results in a paper accessible to other undergraduate students.

When? Usually during the junior or senior year.

Summer 2024 undergraduate research programs, REU and SPUR

The Cornell Math Department will not be offering the REU or SPUR Programs for Summer 2024.  We anticipate hosting the programs in Summer 2025 depending on funding and faculty mentorship availability.  An update on the 2025 programs will be posted in mid-December 2024.   The Math Department has limited funding available for Cornell undergraduate students to pursue a summer research project with a Math faculty member.  The faculty member must request the funds from the Department Chair in a 1-page proposal describing the summer plans.  Deadline for submitting proposals is Friday, February 9, 2024.

The REU and SPUR summer programs provide the opportunity for undergraduate students of mathematics to participate in leading-edge research. Projects are designated "REU" and others are designated "SPUR".  The difference between REU and SPUR projects is the funding support that is available (See the Program Information link below).  For a history and to see archives of some previous REU/SPUR Programs go to REU/SPUR History and Archives .

REU PROGRAM - Research Experience for Undergraduates SPUR PROGRAM - Summer Program for Undergraduate Research

Engaging in mathematical research can be a fun, intense, and rewarding experience. It is also an excellent means to reach beyond your coursework and "do mathematics."

Undergraduate students at Michigan have a variety of research options. For example, students who participate in the Department's REU program work on questions at the frontier of modern mathematics, and the Inquiry Based Learning course Explorations in Mathematics (MATH 389) provides students with a gentle introduction to mathematical research. The Laboratory of Geometry at Michigan , LOG(M), is a group of undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty in mathematics working to explore and share some research topics in geometry.  The  Directed Reading Program is designed to help motivated undergraduate students explore mathematical topics under the direction of a graduate student mentor. Students can also learn about directed research through  U ndergraduate-Level Independent Study Courses . 

Additionally, the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program  (UROP) creates research partnerships between undergraduate students and University of Michigan researchers.  All schools and colleges are active participants in UROP, which provides a wealth of interesting research topics for program participants.
