Summer Research Opportunities with Centenary Faculty

All members of the faculty regularly provide opportunities for students to carry out on-campus summer research in their laboratories.

 

Summer Research Opportunities at Other Institutions

The National Science Foundation, through its Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program, supports summer research programs at a number of institutions across the country.

The LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport (LSUHSC-S) is located about one mile from the Centenary campus. LSUHSC-S, being a research-intensive institution, is a rich source of opportunities for both academic year and summer research experiences.
