Summer Research in Physics
Each
summer, Houghton College
sponsors the Houghton College Summer
Research Institute, which allows students to work with Houghton
faculty on faculty-led collaborative research projects in
physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics and computer science.
This program gives students the opportunity to see what it is like to be involved in professional physics research.
Currently, we have summer programs at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Cornell University.
This summer research experience is one component of our larger emphasis on involving students in research in our physics curriculum. As part of this emphasis, students write undergraduate theses and make presentations at scientific meetings on their research work.
