In previous summers, we have facilitated placements in labs related to computer science, biomedical sciences, chemical engineering, and mechanical engineering. Admitted UVA Advance students interested in this option share their research interests with us, and we seek to place them in a relevant lab – under the guidance of a faculty member and graduate students. Students are expected to spend four+ hours per day (M-F) working in the lab. Students earn three credits for the research experience. Lab placement is not guaranteed.
Note: Letter grades are not assigned for the undergraduate research option; students are enrolled in the affiliated course on a Credit/No Credit basis. Many institutions require letter grades to be assigned for outside credits to transfer in.
