Undergraduate Research

For a general overview of undergraduate research opportunities at Yale, see the YSER (Yale Science and Engineering Research Program) web site, http://www.yale.edu/yser.

There is no organized program within Computer Science. However, students wanting to do research can

• Take one or more terms of Computer Science 490a or b Special Projects under the direction of any of our faculty. (Only one term counts toward the requirements of the major, but all receive Yale credit.)

• Work in a research group during the summer or during the academic year. Such paid positions are not common and are arranged directly between a student and a faculty member.

How soon students can begin research depends on their background and area of interest.
