REU program is an opportunity for students to gain research experience.
Summer program yields powerful benefits
Professors dedicated to student success and an abundance of undergraduate research opportunities are part of the James Madison University tradition. That tradition continues this summer as part of JMU's participation in the Research Experience for Undergraduates. Funded in part by the National Science Foundation, the program targets students early in their academic careers who are looking to enhance their scientific research experience. JMU is one of only a handful of schools nationwide to offer this experience primarily to undergrads. Students get the benefit of prolonged lab time and a professor-mentor relationship. Learn more.
