Other Research Opportunities
Research programs and internships
The Office of Undergraduate Research works with departments across campus to provide information about student research opportunities. Below is a brief list of programs to consider as you expand your research experiences.
Independent and directed study
Students can receive academic credit for conducting research under the guidance professors within their major. Consult with your professor and departmental adviser for course descriptions and registration.

Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP)
SROP is offered collaboratively among several midwestern universities with the goal of preparing undergraduates underrepresented in their field for advanced studies in a PhD-granting program. Participants typically are outstanding undergrads who want to conduct intensive research across a variety of disciplines. Students must complete at least two years at their home undergraduate institution before taking part. Participating institutions include the University of Michigan, Michigan State, the University of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
