Research & Independent Study
Summer Research Internship Program
Undergraduate students may participate in a summer research internship at GW, giving them experience within the fields of molecular biology, bioinformatics and biomaterials. This interdisciplinary program includes biology, computer science and physics plus connections with chemistry, engineering, and other scientific fields. The program begins with a week-long laboratory training workshop that prepares students (including freshmen and sophomores) for research. The individual internships are tailored to students' interests, allowing them to engage in research with faculty and professional laboratories in the metropolitan area. A grant from the National Science Foundation (Research Experience for Undergraduates, NSF/REU) provide stipends and living expenses to many internship participants. The research projects may extend into the academic year and provide an excellent credential for postgraduate programs and employment in the sciences.

Scholars in Quantiative & Natural Sciences (SQNS)
The SQNS program is for entering freshmen who are interested in the sciences and have some high school background in science and math. The program provides unique opportunities for students interested in biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, mathematics, or statistics who wish to engage in an interdisciplinary curricular experience. Scholars in Quantitative and Natural Sciences includes three components: integrated science courses in biology, physics and computer science during the freshman year, quantitative or life-science course tracks in the junior and senior years, and research projects with GW faculty and research partners. The curriculum is designed to engage students in interdisciplinary research and to lead to dual major or minor combinations in the sciences. The SQNS Program provides students the ability to broaden their scientific understanding and experience beyond that of a typical science major.
