Summer Undergraduate Research Experience

The Carthage Summer Undergraduate Research Experience, or SURE, offers students the opportunity to engage in collaborative research with faculty mentors.

Students who are selected for the program work closely with a faculty mentor on a new or developing line of research in the natural sciences or mathematics. (Students in the social sciences can apply for a position in the Social Science Summer Research Program.)

SURE provides a stipend of approximately $2,750, as well as standard campus room and board, and a research budget. Participants work on campus for 8 to 10 weeks of intensive research during the summer.

Students and faculty participating in SURE meet weekly for lunch and student presentations of research progress. Each SURE student is required to write a summative project report.

A poster session is held during the final week of the program. The entire Carthage community is invited to the presentation to view and discuss research results.
