K-State Physics REU: Interactions of Matter, Light and Learning
The K-State Physics REU program offers summer fellowships to do world-class research in our friendly department in the scenic Flint Hills. We are funded by the National Science Foundation.
Applications for the Kansas State University REU summer 2026 program are not yet open. More information and the application link will be available in the late fall of 2025.
The Kansas State Physics REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) summer program offers students a chance to engage in cutting-edge research within our welcoming department. You'll be paired with a faculty mentor who will guide you through a dedicated research project. Beyond hands-on research, you'll gain deeper insights into the physics behind these projects through classroom learning led by faculty and hear about other exciting departmental research. Our philosophy faculty will also lead discussions on ethical issues in physics, including real-world case studies of past violations. Throughout the summer, you'll provide informal oral updates to your fellow participants. The program culminates with each student creating a web page and delivering a capstone oral presentation summarizing their summer's work.
