WashU Research Development Institute 2027

WashU High School Summer Institutes let students experience college-level curriculum without the pressure of a letter grade. Classes are small (typically 15–20 participants) with personalized feedback; participants are evaluated on attendance, engagement, assignments and academic integrity, and also take part in college-readiness and community activities and weekend outings in St. Louis. Research on a topic of your choice with practical, applied work using primary and secondary sources (not lab-based).
