The REU program in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Michigan State University offers to undergraduate students the opportunity to do forefront research in a field of physics -- nuclear, condensed matter, high-energy, or astrophysics. Approximately twenty students participate in the program each summer. They live and work on the MSU campus for a 10-week period. Seminars, field trips, social activities, and sports are planned, in addition to the individual research projects.Each student in the program will work on a well-defined research project under the direction of a faculty mentor. A wide variety of projects is available, both experimental and theoretical. In nuclear physics, MSU is the site of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory; researchopportunities include experimental nuclear physics, accelerator and detector design and testing, and theoretical studies. Condensed matter physics includes basic solid-state physics and properties of new materials. REU projects in high-energy physics are done at MSU, relating to experiments at Fermilab and CERN. In the field of astrophysics, a 24-inch reflecting telescope is available at MSU, and data from other observatories may be analyzed. At the end of the programeach student will write a research report and give an oral presentation.

密歇根州立大学物理与天文学系的 REU 项目为本科生提供了在物理领域（核、凝聚态、高能或天体物理学）进行前沿研究的机会。每年夏天大约有二十名学生参加该项目。他们在密歇根州立大学校园生活和工作 10 周。除了个人研究项目外，还计划举办研讨会、实地考察、社交活动和体育活动。该项目的每个学生都将在教师导师的指导下开展明确的研究项目。有各种各样的项目可供选择，包括实验和理论项目。在核物理方面，密歇根州立大学是国家超导回旋加速器实验室的所在地；研究机会包括实验核物理、加速器和探测器设计与测试以及理论研究。凝聚态物理包括基础固体物理和新材料的特性。 REU 高能物理项目是在密歇根州立大学完成的，与费米实验室和欧洲核子研究中心的实验相关。在天体物理领域，密歇根州立大学有一台24英寸的反射望远镜，可以分析其他天文台的数据。在课程结束时，每个学生将撰写一份研究报告并进行口头报告。
