What is a Physics REU?
Most Physics REU Sites provide opportunities spanning the full range of research of the indicated departments or laboratories, and include both experimental and theoretical activities. Some Sites focus on research in a particular sub-field or in a more specialized laboratory or facility.
What does REU stand for?
Research Experiences for Undergraduates
REU stands for ‘Research Experiences for Undergraduates’.
What does REU stand for in engineering?
The Engineering for Bouncing Back (EBB), Clean Water Initiative (CWI) and Cascadia Lifelines Program (CLiP) programs will provide research experiences for undergraduates (REU) in hand-on and interdisciplinary research on building resilient communities.
How competitive are REU?
REU programs are an excellent opportunity for students to explore their research interests and gain valuable research experience. REU programs are very competitive pick between 10 – 15 programs to apply to, most have a similar application with no application fee.
How do you calculate Reu?
To identify appropriate REU Sites, students should consult the directory of active REU Sites on the Web at https://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/reu/reu_search.cfm.
Why do we do REU?
Every NSF-sponsored REU provides a stipend to every U.S. citizen or permanent resident participant. Some REUs have funding for international students as well.

What do you do in a math Reu?
Usually REUs have a series of visiting mathematicians who will tell you about their work, and also you get to see how mathematicians interact with each other and with strong students when they’re not in front of a classroom. Find out more, or in more detail, about career paths for students with mathematics degrees.
