Conducting research during the summer somewhere other than Mizzou is a great way to broaden your research experiences! These are opportunities to work at a campus you might want to consider for graduate school or explore a research area that isn’t well-developed at Mizzou (example: marine biology).
Applications for many summer programs are due between mid-December and mid-February, so start looking early. It is a good idea to prepare application materials over the winter break.
If you applying for a summer research opportunity, or are accepted, at another institution over the summer, let the Office of Undergraduate Research know and find out how we may be of any assistance.
Increase your chances of being selected for an off-campus summer program! Staff in the Office of Fellowships and Advanced Studies are available to review students’ application materials for summer research programs. Reach out if you want support on an external summer research program application!
