Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)

Most REU deadlines are between January and March.  Watch this space for updates.  Many sites do not update until late October to mid January. If you are interested in an REU program that has not updated their website, contact them directly to see if the program will be available. Listings with an asterisk* are open to international students.
Please be mindful that some REUs start before our spring term ends. If the REU program does not allow you to start after you complete your spring term, you will need permission from your instructors to leave Kalamazoo College early.
