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

  • Debate/contested

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.

I have a BS in chemistry, but I am now working on a physics degree. Am I still eligible for physics REUs? I haven't seen anything explicitly stating that I am not eligible. Any thoughts?

I'm pretty sure REUs are reserved expressly for undergraduate students.
 
I should add that I am working on an undergraduate physics degree.
 
woops, you actually already mentioned that. My bad :rolleyes:
in that case, i have no idea.
