The Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) offers undergraduate students a unique path to prepare for graduate school. For historically under-represented students in higher education, the SROP experience opens doors to a world that many have never imagined. Hands on, up-close and personal, students learn about the enterprise of research by actually doing it from start to finish.
Through SROP, participants are exposed during the summer to the rigors of graduate school, while being engaged in professional development in scholarly writing, presentation, GRE preparation and more. The experience is unique because in addition to an intensive research experience, mentoring, professional development, and being a part of a nationally recognized cohort of scholars, students receive academic credit as if they were taking summer classes!
At Ohio State, SROP brings students from all over the United States in a variety of fields. Presented below you will find the experiences of three SROP participants. These students also had the opportunity to attend the National SROP Conference, held this year at Michigan State University.
