The REU and SPUR summer programs provide the opportunity for undergraduate students of mathematics to participate in leading-edge research.  Projects are designated "REU" and others are designated "SPUR".  The difference between REU and SPUR projects is the funding support that is available (See Support/Costs below).  For a history and to see archives of some previous REU/SPUR Programs go to REU/SPUR History and Archives.

The Nexus Scholars Program

​

The Math Department REU and SPUR programs will also be inviting students from the Cornell College of Arts And sciences, Nexus Scholars Program to work alongside participants in the REU and SPUR Programs.  This is a new program offered and administered by the Cornell University College of Arts and Sciences that provides Cornell undergraduate students the opportunity to work on research projects side-by-side with faculty members across the college including the Math Department.  Cornell students interested in the NSP can go to the Nexus Scholars Program website for more information on the program, funding, and information on how to apply.

REU/SPUR Program Dates and Location

​

Both the REU and SPUR Programs are 8-week programs that will run from June - July.
