RISE Program Undergraduate students who participate in this program
must maintain a 3.0 grade point average while
spending up to 20 hours per week conducting research in an assigned
on-campus laboratory. Students
are paid hourly as contractual employees of Morgan
State University, and may obtain full-time (40 hours per week) contracts
during the summer
months. Participants are also allowed to funds
for travel to one annual conference, where they are expected to present
the results of their
research. Participants in this program will spend
20 hours/week conducting research in an on-campus faculty
laboratory during the academic year and 40 hours/week
during the summer. Additionally, participants
have the opportunity to present their research at local undergraduate
research symposium.
In addition to completing a Graduate Records
Examination study course, students are expected to attend the weekly
interdepartmental seminar
series. For more information call (443) 885-3475

top Summer Research Internship Programs
Undergraduates who seek research experience
outside of the University are encouraged to apply to various summer
research
intership programs. These programs
are offered locally at Johns Hopkins University, University of
Maryland, and the National Institutes of
Health. Universitites across
the country also offer research experiences for undergraduate students.
Most programs are looking for students
with a minimum GPA of 2.8 in
the summers following their sophomore or junior years and usually
require US citizenship or permanent residency.
Occasionally, universities may
be awarded private funds that will allow them to accept foreign
