Undergraduate Research & Internships

Engaging in mathematical research as an undergraduate is an excellent way to prepare for graduate school or a career in industry. Tulane provides several avenues for getting involved, both on-campus and nationwide.

Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs)

Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), REU programs allow students to spend their summer researching a specific mathematical topic at a host university. They are highly competitive and offer stipends.
