Undergraduate Programs

Student Internships

SD EPSCoR partners with South Dakota science centers by supporting undergraduate student interns working at the centers delivering informal science education.

Become a Communication Science Fellow

Science Communication Fellows are scientists, engineers, researchers, graduate students, and other science professionals who have successfully completed a Science Communication Workshop and have been certified through Portal to the Public as current science ambassadors and excellent science communicators. The Fellowship will consist of four virtual 3-hour workshop sessions Wednesday afternoons from 1:30-4:30 p.m. plus one outreach event in Pierre.

Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)

The National Science Foundation (NSF) funds a large number of research opportunities for undergraduate students through its REU program. Undergraduate student participants in either REU Sites or REU Supplements must be U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or permanent residents of the United States. An REU Site may be at either a US or foreign location.

By using the web page, Search for an REU Site, you may examine opportunities in the subject areas supported by various NSF units. Also, you may search by keywords to identify sites in particular research areas or with certain features, such as a particular location.
