Gustavus Adolphus College

Student / Faculty Research

The opportunity to undertake a research project working with a faculty member is a part of the pre-professional chemistry major and the pre-professional biochemistry major. The Chemistry faculty design their research programs specifically with student participation in mind.

Research participation is open to other chemistry and biochemistry majors as well as the pre-professional majors as long as faculty supervision scheduling allows. Pre-professional majors are expected to do research, so they will be given priority.

Summer Research Opportunities

On-Campus:

Faculty members often have funding for ten-week summer research projects. If you are interested, please contact the faculty member whose research you find to be of interest. Inquiries should be made early, preferably in the fall or early spring.

For more details, see Gustavus Faculty-Student Summer Research in Scine and Mathematics.

Off-campus:
