Summer Research Opportunities for Undergraduate Students

Undergraduate students interested in summer research opportunities at the University of Notre Dame are invited to explore the program areas listed below. These programs provide a broad range of topics in engineering, science, business, international development, humanities, and more. Many programs offer professional development workshops and social events to enhance the research experience of students and to prepare them for the Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium where they will present their research project.

Take a look at the demographics of students that participated in the Summer Research Programs in 2022 in the following short slideshow:
