REU-PATHWAYS: Pathways for community college students to enrich their education and careers
Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs support active research participation by undergraduate students in STEM fields that are funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects specifically designed for the REU program. This REU program provided educational and funding opportunities for community college students. This program was a non-residential program held on the Northeastern main campus in Boston, MA.
