The Department of Astronomy and the Center for Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (CCAPP) sponsor a summer research program for Ohio State undergraduates. This program offers summer research positions in astrophysics with a faculty member of the Department of Astronomy and/or Physics. Application information is available on the Department of Astronomy webpage.
This program is open to undergraduate students currently enrolled at The Ohio State University. The Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) is intended for sophomores or juniors interested in graduate study in astrophysics, careers in science education, or data-driven technical fields. Participants are typically Astronomy & Astrophysics majors who have, or will have, completed Astronomy 2291 and 2292 before they are to begin summer research. These courses provide essential background information for most research projects. Engineering students interested in astronomical instrumentation but who may not have completed any "astronomy" coursework may apply. Exceptions may also be made for physics majors and majors in other closely related fields. Students who have not completed 2291 and 2292 are eligible for and encouraged to apply for education and planetarium positions as offered and will not restrict their involvement in research in subsequent years.
