Green Fellowship Application and Eligibility
Green Fellowship Program Eligibility
Students participating in the Green Fellowship work in either a basic or medical research laboratory on the UT Southwestern Medical Center campus for one semester. Medical research draws upon a variety of disciplines and the program works well when students bring a variety of knowledge and expertise to the program.
Students from the following majors are eligible and encouraged to apply:
- Biochemistry
- Bioengineering
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Computer Science
- Cognitive Science
- Electrical Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Molecular and Cell Biology
- Neuroscience
- Physics
- Psychology
Student applicants should have a basic level of knowledge in their major and some experimental laboratory experience is considered helpful. Students must have completed their sophomore year at UT Dallas in order to participate in the program. Most have completed three years of study at UT Dallas before beginning the program.
Student participants receive 12 hours of undergraduate research credit for their semester of work, but are not allowed to take additional classes during the Fellowship. Students interested in participating in the Green Fellowship should meet with their academic advisor to devise a degree plan that can accommodate a semester of full-time research.
