For the last five years, the McNair Summer Research Program (SRP) program has been providing faculty-supervised research experiences to expose McNair Scholars to independent academic research, while simultaneously instilling research skills and experience that makes them more competitive candidates on graduate applications and for future graduate-level work.
Through SRP, McNair participants spend a summer at DePaul or another institution, studying and conducting research with a faculty member in their chosen field. McNair participants also have the option of completing the International Research Experience (IRE) program, which is coordinated by DePaul faculty and takes students abroad for a summer of research and service at a partner university. IRE adds an international travel and service component to a student's summer research experience.
Listed below are some of the colleges and universities at which McNair participants participated in the SRP from 2000 to 2020:
