Summer Science Research Program
The Goucher Summer Science Research Program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to work closely with faculty members on research projects. The program is designed for students who have taken relevant course(s) that pertain to faculty research and who want to learn more about the graduate or professional school experience and pursue a research career in science.

Faculty/Student Collaborative Research
Faculty members in engineering science have strong independent research programs. They are committed to involving students in collaborative research on campus, often resulting in student-faculty co-authorship on publications and presentations at professional conferences. In addition to participation in the Summer Science Research Program, students may have the opportunity to conduct independent research with faculty during the year.

Summer Research Experiences Off-Campus
Students can spend one or more summers participating in research projects or internships at major universities, national laboratories, or corporations.
