To initiate work with a Macalester faculty member, start by looking at the MSCS Research Opportunities<\/a> page, and then talking with a professor with whom you would like to work. Also visit the Macalester Science and Research Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n REUs are typically 8\u201310 week programs, run all over the country, and you get housing and salary. REUs vary widely in structure (for example, whether students work individually or in groups, on similar projects or different projects, with lots of faculty supervision\/interaction or very little). Note that most cannot fund students who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents. If you\u2019re thinking of graduate school, trying an REU is a really good idea. Application deadlines are mostly from January to March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The NSF funds many REUs in mathematics, applied math, statistics, and computer science. See the official NSF listings by subject area: Mathematical Sciences (including statistics)<\/a>, Computer Science<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other summer research possibilities are listed below. Some have restrictions to women or under-represented groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Summer schools” offer a chance for advanced study of some specific topics in the field. Admission to many summer school programs is highly prestigious. Some of these programs target women or under-represented groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summer internships in industry are a great way to try out a career before graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are interested in teaching or working with kids there are many enrichment programs during the summer for middle and high school students. Located across the country, these programs often hire college students. The AMS lists summer programs in mathematics<\/a> for middle- and\/or high-school students, but there are many other programs out there.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summer Research Opportunities To initiate work with a Macalester faculty member, start by looking at the MSCS Research Opportunities page, and then talking with a professor with whom you would like to work.
