Summer Undergraduate Research Programs

Expand your résumé at Washington State University! Participate in summer research programs hosted by mentoring WSU faculty and funded by NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU), USDA-NIFA, and faculty grants.

There are projects every summer at the main campus in Pullman, Wash. in the Pacific Northwest. For all projects, you will:

  • Conduct research to add to knowledge on the project and in the discipline
  • Be mentored by award-winning professors and work with top research assistants
  • Receive a generous stipend that covers many expenses
  • Share your work with other researchers as well as the public at an end-of-program symposium
  • Discover the personal and professional value of networking

How Do I Join the Program?

You must apply well in advance and directly to the specific program that interests you. Summer research programs planned for 2024 are listed below.
