Undergraduate research is an important part of the Michigan experience. Students have a range of opportunities to get involved in research within NERS or elsewhere at U-M.

Summer Programs

  • Students at U-M can get a taste of graduate student life through the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience Program (SURE).
  • Undergraduates from other institutions who meet diversity requirements can experience research at U-M through the Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP).

Fall/Winter Program

The Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) provides a structured research experience for credit or pay through a work-study program. Apply in the spring before your freshman or sophomore year.

Build Your Own Research Experience

NERS professors welcome motivated undergraduate students who are interested in exploring their area of research. NERS independent study courses 299 and 499 allow students to engage in research for credit as freshmen or sophomores and juniors or seniors, respectively, and some faculty offer lab work for pay. Find Out More.

LEARN MORE

Current U-M students can schedule an appointment to meet with our Undergraduate Program Manager, Michelle Sonderman. Non-U-M students can fill out the form to request more information or arrange to visit.
