UMBC Interdisciplinary CoLab is now accepting undergraduate student applications for Summer 2026 (Summer Session One: June 1st - June 26th). The application deadline is Wednesday, March 25th.

About the program:

CoLab is a paid 4-week, in-person summer research internship for undergraduates. 

Participants receive a $3000 stipend following their successful completion of the internship and a scholarship covering the cost of the 3-credit internship course. 

Open to all majors, CoLab is an excellent opportunity for students in STEM fields to learn to tell effective stories and for students in social science and humanities fields to gain collaborative research and technical skills. Student interns work on interdisciplinary project teams to conduct research, create effective narratives about their findings, and develop public-facing final products to support the goals of on and off campus community-engaged organizations and scholars.
