There are also a variety of ways upper level undergraduate students can do scientific research in Applied Science labs as well as the labs of our many affiliates:

• Virginia Microelectronics Consortium (VMEC) 2008 Scholars Program (pdf). If you are currently a junior or senior in a 4-year degree program at a university in Virginia, you are eligible to join us for a summer program that will give you a hands-on, state-of-the-art research experience.
• Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program is funded by the NSF and provides undergraduates genuine involvement in actual research in the Physics and the Applied Science departments. We have collaborations at the nearby laboratories: Thomas Jefferson Lab, and NASA Langley Research Center.
• The W&M HHMI Program provides research opportunities in biology and the other sciences—particularly in interdisciplinary arenas. In addition to basic research opportunities, the program also funds an integrated "support system" for undergraduate research.
• Computational Science Training for Undergraduates in the Mathematical Sciences (CSUMS) is a new collaborative program between the Departments of Mathematics, Applied Science, and Computer Science which is currently recruiting William & Mary undergraduate students interested in participating in a CSUMS research project.
• The Chemistry department supports the full-time research efforts of 45-55 undergraduate chemistry majors each summer through internal and external funding. Students are provided with a ten-week stipend and with free dormitory housing.
