Math Learning Opportunities

The Department of Mathematics at Western Michigan Unversity encourages students to take advantage of internship and summer program opportunities.

Internships

• Student internships at the National Security Agency
• The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Scholarship and Fellowship Program is intended for students interested in pursuing the basic science and technology innovations that can be applied to the DHS mission. The DHS realizes that the country's strong science and technology community provides a critical advantage in the development and implementation of counter-terrorist measures and other DHS objectives. This education program is intended to ensure a diverse and highly talented science and technology community to achieve the DHS mission and objectives. Areas of study that are eligible include: physical sciences, mathematical sciences, computer and information sciences, life sciences, social sciences, psychology, selected humanities and engineering.
• The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education administers a broad range of internships, scholarships, fellowships and research experiences.

Summer programs

• American Mathematical Society hosts several programs.
• IMMERSE, University of Nebraska, is an NSF-funded research and mentoring experience in algebra and analysis for beginning graduate students in mathematics.
• Research Experience for Undergraduates summer programs.
• Research in Industrial Projects for Students is a unique summer program for exceptional undergraduate students of the mathematics, engineering, computer science and physical and life science disciplines. Sponsored by The Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics.
• The Carleton College and St. Olaf College Summer Mathematics Program for Undergraduate Women is for first- or second-year women students who would benefit from a demanding, invigorating month-long exposure to mathematics.
• The NSF-sponsored Research Experience for Undergraduates at Grand Valley State University invites eight students from across the country to participate in their REU program each summer.
• The Summer Program for Women in Mathematics at George Washington University is a five-week intensive program for mathematically talented undergraduate women who are completing their junior year and may be contemplating graduate study in mathematical sciences.

Other programs

The Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics Semester Programs fosters the interaction of mathematics with a broad range of science and technology, builds new interdisciplinary research communities, promotes mathematical innovation and engages and transforms the world through mathematics.
