Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP)
June 14-July 30, 2021
The Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) is a seven-week remote competitive research experience hosted by Northwestern University for sophomores and juniors from colleges and universities across the United States. All fields of research at Northwestern are open to SROP participants including the social sciences and humanities, physical sciences, chemical and biological sciences, technology, math, and engineering fields. See guidelines for SROP students and faculty mentors.
To be considered for acceptance into SROP, you must:
- Be a current sophomore or junior.
- Have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.3 on a 4.0 scale.
- Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
- Have an interest in pursuing a doctoral degree (PhD) at Northwestern University. Those interested in pursuing an MBA, JD, or MD are not eligible.
Those belonging to groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in graduate education (e.g., certain racial and ethnic minorities, women in STEM, first-generation college students, etc.) are encouraged to apply to participate.
Early Admission Decision Program
Rising seniors who demonstrate that they have the potential to succeed in a Northwestern PhD program may be invited to participate in the Early Admission Decision Program. This program enables prospective students to apply by October 1, participate in interviews without submitting GRE scores, and renders an admission decision by November 1.
