Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the eligibility criteria for Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs), particularly for individuals who already hold a degree in a different field while pursuing an undergraduate degree in physics.
Discussion Character
Main Points Raised
- One participant inquires about their eligibility for physics REUs given their background of holding a BS in chemistry while currently pursuing a physics degree.
- Another participant asserts that REUs are typically reserved for undergraduate students, implying a potential restriction on eligibility.
- A third participant clarifies that they are indeed working on an undergraduate physics degree, which may impact their eligibility.
- A later reply acknowledges the previous clarification but admits uncertainty regarding the eligibility criteria.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants express differing views on the eligibility for REUs, with no consensus reached on the specific criteria that apply in this case.
