Research Opportunities in Astronomy

Astronomy is not the only field that has REUs or research opportunities. There are also opportunities in the Physics Department and other sciences if you look and ask. An extensive list of physics resources and opportunities is available here.

Research Opportunities for External Students

At this time we do not offer an REU in the Astronomy Department at Ohio State for external students. However, students who apply for SROP and are interested in astronomy can be included as a part of SURP program through the Summer Research Opportunities Program through the Big Ten Academic Alliance. Please email the department if you have applied so we know to look for your application.
