Lehigh University hosts a summer research program for students completing the sophomore or junior year of an undergraduate physics or related major. Fifteen to twenty students recruited nationwide work for ten weeks each summer under the guidance of faculty members in the Department of Physics. The program includes research projects mentored by Physics faculty members, weekly seminars and lab tours, an end-of-the-summer symposium, and various social functions involving faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students. Housing in dormitories on campus is provided without charge to the students; this arrangement greatly enhances both the academic and social experiences of the participants.The student research projects reflect the specialties of the faculty, which include astrophysics, experimental and theoretical atomic and molecular physics, biophysics, studies of complex fluids, laser produced plasmas, theoretical plasma physics related to the fusion program, photonics and nonlinear optics, experimental and theoretical solid state physics, and statistical physics. More information about research activities can be found on the Department website http://www.physics.lehigh.edu. The participating students gain research experience at a critical point in their undergraduate careers, as well as an excellent preview of graduate school. Over the past 15 years, more than 70% of program participants have gone on to graduate studies in science and engineering, while most of the remaining students have pursued careers in science and technology.

里哈伊大学为完成本科物理或相关专业二年级或三年级的学生举办夏季研究计划。 每年夏天，十五到二十名学生在物理系教师的指导下在全国范围内招募工作十周。 该计划包括由物理教员指导的研究项目、每周研讨会和实验室参观、夏末研讨会以及涉及教职员工、研究生和本科生的各种社交活动。 免费为学生提供校内宿舍住宿；这种安排极大地提高了参与者的学术和社会经验。学生的研究项目反映了教师的专业，包括天体物理学、实验和理论原子和分子物理学、生物物理学、复杂流体研究、激光产生等离子体、与聚变计划相关的理论等离子体物理学、光子学和非线性光学、实验和理论固态物理学以及统计 物理学。 有关研究活动的更多信息可以在该系网站 http://www.physicals.lehigh.edu 上找到。 参与的学生在本科生涯的关键时刻获得了研究经验，并为研究生院提供了良好的预习。 过去15年里，超过70%的项目参与者继续攻读科学和工程研究生，而其余大多数学生则从事科学和技术领域的职业。
