The following resources have been collected and provided by St. Olaf faculty for students seeking undergraduate research opportunities. Check back often for additional opportunities - this site is constantly under construction!

Research at St. Olaf

Each summer, St. Olaf sponsors a large number of different projects in biology, chemistry, physics, MSCS, and psychology for undergraduate students. Visit the Summer Science Research site for more information (2008 deadlines have passed).

In addition, during the summer of 2008 St. Olaf will offer opportunities for students to undertake research projects in collaboration with faculty members in the fine arts, humanities, interdisciplinary and general studies, and social sciences.
