The Graduate Studies Program at the Albany Medical College is offering three research programs for undergraduates interested in furthering their training in science, and in exploring career options in research. Programs are available during the summer in which students will have their own research project, be advised by a faculty mentor who will provide guidance and insight, and will be able to take advantage of a variety of Enrichment Activities designed to illuminate the profession of a researcher in the biomedical sciences. Stipends are available for these summer opportunities on a competitive basis.
