Summer Scholars Program
An MCS Research Experience for UndergraduatesThe Mellon College of Science Summer Scholars Program brings together undergraduate students primarily from liberal arts colleges to conduct research in mathematical sciences, physics, chemistry, biology and computational projects.
Each research experience has its own priorities and events, but under the SSP umbrella more than 40 students lived together in the same dorm and were provided science-specific professional learning and development opportunities. SSP aims to increase access to information about graduate school, scientific research, conference meetings and other career opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. It helps young scholars build professional networks and foster a sense of community within STEM research spaces; improve their ability to think creatively about research; and work in interdisciplinary and collaborative settings.
Research Opportunities
Pennsylvania Space Grant Consortium
Pennsylvania Space Grant Consortium
Six Carnegie Mellon students in the Mellon College of Science are selected annually for a funded summer research internship opportunity for (MCS) through the Pennsylvania Space Grant Consortium. Where possible, these grants will be used to connect new MCS faculty with undergraduate research, and to provide opportunities to students new to research.
Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center Internship Program
Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center Internship Program
PSC’s Internship Program supports workforce development in the state of Pennsylvania. Through this program, undergraduate students become immersed in research and development projects in areas such as data analytics, computational science and bioinformatics, while working with some of the world’s leading experts in their fields.
Summer Undergraduate Applied Mathematics Institute
Summer Undergraduate Applied Mathematics Institute
The Summer Undergraduate Applied Mathematics Institute (SUAMI) is an eight-week summer research program for undergraduate students. The goals of SUAMI are to expose students to the nature, culture, and rigors of research in pure and applied and to give the students a taste of the graduate school experience.
Artificial Intelligence and Physics Summer Undergraduate Research Program
Artificial Intelligence and Physics Summer Undergraduate Research Program
The Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) at the NSF AI Planning Institute is an eight-week, fully funded opportunity for undergraduate students to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and physics.
