The Research Opportunities Spreadsheet offers a long list of internships for a variety of departments with deadlines that range from August to April. The list can be sorted by program host, deadline, whether there’s opportunities for freshman or international students, and program title. The list is constantly being updated with new opportunities and updated deadlines as they become available.
Note to International Students:
Many, but not all, paid research programs are restricted to U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents. Read program requirements closely. International students may approach individual faculty members at UMBC or elsewhere about laboratory work that does not involve a federal program.
Enroll in a zero-credit PRAC through the Career Center and have your research experience documented on your transcript!
Employers and graduate admissions offices like to see practica recorded on your transcript because it indicates that your internship, co-op or research position was a significant learning experience, approved and vetted by the University.
Join the Undergraduate Researcher myUMBC Group for additional updates!
A program offered through NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) in both Gaithersburg, MD and Boulder, CO.
Great paid opportunity for students in physics, material science, chemistry, applied mathematics, computer science, or engineering. There may be research opportunities for students with other majors. UMBC undergraduate students who are interested in applying for the NIST Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program should review the Application Checklist.
