This program focuses on providing research opportunities in mathematics and physics to undergraduate students.
Participants will receive a $5,600 stipend, paid housing in the campus residence halls and a meal plan for the duration of the program.
The program will run for eight weeks, from June 2 to July 25, 2025.
“Programs like REUs highlight the good work our faculty do in research, and because they are so competitive to get, it means we are doing something right at Marshall,” said Tom Cuchta, assistant professor of mathematics at Marshall.
The program is competitive for applicants with 10 slots for undergraduate researchers across five projects—six slots for math students and four slots for physics students. This program will accept at most two undergraduate students from Marshall and the rest will be from other universities across the United States.
REU Sites are funded through the National Science Foundation (NSF) and are available nationwide in all areas NSF covers, including math, biology, chemistry, engineering and more.
Applications for the REU Site: Appalachian Mathematics and Physics Site are now open at amps.marshall.edu and the deadline to apply is March 1, 2025.
