Description:
Miami University's Summer REU Program in Ecology and Environmental Science focuses on "The Ecology of Human-Dominated Landscapes." The program is funded by a grant received from The National Science Foundation and by Miami University.

Twelve undergraduate students will be selected to conduct individual research projects with faculty mentors. The program's research will involve faculty from the Departments of Botany, Geology, Geography, Mathematics & Statistics, Microbiology, Zoology and the School of Interdisciplinary Studies.

Eligibility

To be eligible, students must be enrolled in any U.S. undergraduate college or university and must be a United States citizen or permanent resident. Students must have taken introductory courses in biology or the environmental sciences. A course in ecology is recommended but not required. Women and minority students are encouraged to apply. Miami University is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Stipend & Travel Expenses

All students will receive a $5000 stipend. Expenses will be reimbursed for travel to and from Oxford.

Tuition
