The Research Experience for Undergraduates

The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) initiative in the School of Business (SB) cultivates and supports research partnerships between undergraduate students and SB faculty members. REUs provide an opportunity for undergraduate students to initiate and conduct research on a topic of interest, to work as part of the team on a faculty member’s research project, or to participate in a case competition requiring intensive research. REUs engage undergraduates more fully in the learning process and enable undergraduates to gain an appreciation of the role of research in business.

Funds are available for three types of research activities:

  • Dean’s Scholars Program – funds student research and provides funds for faculty mentors for those projects
  • Research Assistants – pays an hourly wage to students to assist faculty on research projects
  • Case Competitions – provides funds to support preparation and travel of student teams and faculty advisors to case competitions

GW Undergraduate Research
There are also opportunities for undergraduate research outside of the School of Business. The George Washington University has established an undergraduate research program that enables students to participate in a broad range of reserach projects. You can either work on a faculty member's research project or develop your own independent project with faculty guidance. Undergraduate research is for everyone - for art, English, and sociology majors, not just science and engineering majors, for freshmen and sophomores as well as juniors and seniors. . . . more
