I’m a current Wooster student, although I have no experience with the physics department. I think that from a research experience and mentoring standpoint, Wooster is one of the best in the country, especially among LACs. Students not only do a senior year research project (Independent Study), but they also have a smaller project in junior year to prepare them for the senior project. We also have paid research positions available for first-years, sophomores and juniors, both during the school year and during the summer. During the summer we also offer some fantastic internship opportunities in the region through AMRE (Applied Mathematics Research Experience).
