This semester, we have 16 laboratories available for you. 11 labs are Rutgers University-Camden (RUC) labs, and 5 labs are Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU). Once students are accepted to a research lab for shadowing, they will spend a few hours each week (1-4 hours depending on the agreement between the student and the professor) in the lab interacting with the professor and their graduate students. Students are not expected to perform experiments or do lab chores (e.g. dishwashing).
How to Submit Your Application
The application window opens from September 24 starting at 9 a.m. through September 27 closing at 5 p.m. Complete the form below and click “Submit”.
Lab options are below the form. You may choose up to 4 labs.

What to Expect After You Submit
After you submit your application, we will review applications and set up interviews. The schedule will take place as follows:
- Interviews will be scheduled from October 2 to October 6.
- Professors will send the list of accepted students to the instructor by 5 p.m. on October 6.
- Student Applicants will be placed by October 9.
- Shadowing duration: October through November.
