Our Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program provides students with the opportunity to pursue an astrophysics-based interdisciplinary research project in collaboration with Northwestern University faculty in:
- Astronomy
- Applied Math
- Chemistry
- Earth and Planetary Science (EPS)
- Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (CS)
- and/or Physics.
The program includes computer programming and science communication workshops, research talks, educational excursions, and a $5400 stipend (over nine weeks). The program also provides funding to cover travel to/from Chicago for students joining from outside the Chicago area. REU covers the cost of on-campus housing, and also provides financial support for each student to present their summer research at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society.
