When and how do chem majors start research?
Most students interested in research begin working in the summer between the junior and senior year. Some students start earlier than this, particularly if they have completed advanced laboratory courses ahead of the usual schedule. Stipends for summer research at BMC are available, and it is important for faculty to know of your interest well before these are awarded in March. Students who wish to join a research group should speak with at least three research faculty early in the academic year following the procedure described on the Undergraduate Student Faculty Mentor Selection Form. Note that the completed form, including faculty signatures, must be returned to Dr. Lukacs no later than February 15.
