Undergraduate Research Opportunities

The Physics Department at the University of Maryland is a top ranked research institution involved in virtually all important areas of physics research. We highly encourage our undergraduate majors to get involved with our faculty on research projects to see first-hand how physicists work.We encourage you to meet with professors to find out more about their research and how you can get involved.

Additionally, Maryland's Undergraduate Research Assistant Program (URAP) offers highly motivated students a unique opportunity to venture beyond the classroom through collaboration with faculty members on mutually interesting projects. The National Science Foundation's Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program sponsors a wide variety of summer research programs at colleges and universities across the nation.
