MUSE 2010

The MUSE Program allows undergraduate students to spend eight weeks in residence, conducting research or engaging in creative activity through collaboration with faculty. The program funds research stipends and on-campus housing for the students. MUSE includes a coordinated program of intellectual and social activities to build an exciting community of scholars that reaches across all academic disciplines.
