The programs are designed to prepare undergraduate students for graduate study. Students are recruited nationally with priority placement given to students at Marquette, at historically black colleges and universities, and at other Jesuit schools. Faculty mentors have the opportunity to review the application of and conduct telephone interviews with potential researchers.
Students spend eight weeks in the summer program.
In addition to research, students meet weekly as a group for seminars and campus visits. At the end of the program, students are required to write a paper and an abstract describing their project and to present the results of their work at a camups symposium. Students either participate in an on-going research project or develop one of their own in consultation with a faculty member.
