The five-week program is a competitive, comprehensive research internship that gives students the chance to conduct scientific research in the field alongside top scientists from June 18 through July 22, at Stone Laboratory, OSU’s island campus on Lake Erie.

REU students receive a full scholarship to Stone Lab, including lab fee, room and meals and in-state tuition for the two-credit research experience and a four-credit, five-week course. The program runs concurrently with Stone Lab’s five-week summer term.
Students spend their non-class days focused on research, working closely with their supervisors to design an experiment, collect samples and analyze data. At the end of the program, they give a final presentation to their peers and the public.
