Discover something new.

Summer research at Muhlenberg started in the 1950s, long before most small, liberal arts colleges had any such programs.

Become a part of Muhlenberg’s history of immersive research, where questions are asked and theories tested within every field and across disciplines — from chemistry to art history. You can work with faculty on an ongoing research topic or design a new research project to tackle with faculty guidance. And you'll be earning a unit of credit toward your degree during the experience.

Funding from a variety of sources helps offset costs, allowing you to remain on campus or travel to research sites that are part of recurring research partnerships — such as Long Island’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, home of one of the world’s two hadron colliders, or University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Labs, a premier marine ecology research lab on the west coast.
