SROP - Summer Research Opportunities Program
GO GRAD
The Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP) is a gateway to graduate education at Michigan State University (MSU). The goal of the program is to increase the number of domestic undergraduate students who pursue graduate study and careers in teaching and research at colleges and universities. MSU SROP helps prepare undergraduate students for graduate study through intensive research experiences with faculty mentors and academic enrichment activities.
MSU SROP helps undergraduate students gain research experience to give them a competitive advantage in applying to graduate school through:
- intense research enrichment activities that broaden technical, research and presentation skills;
- professional development;
- seminars that expose students to a range of research fields across disciplinary lines;
- opportunities to present research results in local research meetings and at a multi-university program symposium.
Visiting scholars are required complete at least 40 hours of research each week during the summer session.
