Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program
Research Courses
PHYS 29000/39000/49000 – Special AssignmentsThese courses deepen and broaden understanding of physics by providing learning experiences tailored to specific faculty research and teaching interests. While many of these courses are lecture based, they can also be a pathway for undergraduates to earn course credit for participating in research. Recent opportunities include courses in infrared spectroscopy, physics education, dark matter research, and Bose-Einstein condensates. Check the course catalog each semester for new opportunities.
PHYS 59000 – Reading and Research
This individual study course is available to physics seniors and graduate students. Students conduct research while receiving individualized supervision and guidance from a faculty member.
PHYS 59300 – Independent Research
This is a required course for Honors Physics and Applied Honors Physics majors. Students conduct research while receiving individualized supervision and guidance from a faculty member.
