Undergraduate research is a powerful learning experience for many Briggs students. Many students carry out research in departments or labs all across campus. Others find opportunities right here in LBC through faculty-led projects. Get involved!
Here at Briggs we value undergraduate research experiences, as we know they set up our students for success as scientists. Find opportunities in LBC, on campus, and elsewhere to develop your skills and follow your curiosity.
LBC provides large format printing of research posters for our Briggs students and faculty. This service has been paused in December 2025.
Lyman Briggs College at Michigan State University will host the Summer Undergraduate Research Institute in Discrete and Applied Mathematics (SURIEM) in 2026.
Applications have not yet opened for this six-week program for undergraduates who are at an early stage of their study of mathematics, e.g. rising sophomores and rising juniors. Competitive applicants will have completed at least two semesters of calculus and one course which requires student to write mathematical proofs.
Presenting at conferences or showcases helps you build science communication skills by sharing the big-picture goals and key details of your work. It’s a chance to refine your message for different audiences, connect with others who share your interests, and gain valuable experience across disciplines—from sciences to humanities and everything in between.
