title: Summer research programs.
abstract: A summer research experience is an excellent opportunity for undergraduate students to gain valuable research experience. With a little bit of planning, students can become familiar with the research area in which they are interested and begin to make connections with experts in the field. Time spent discussing goals for the project can yield peer-reviewed abstracts and publications. As a result, an application to graduate school can be greatly improved by a summer research experience, and students can have more options to consider as they embark on graduate training.
