FYRE in STEM, Wichita State University, Applications due Friday Oct 16!, Hands-on Research, Faculty Mentorship, Peer Networking, Learn More and Apply: Wichita.edu/FYRE

FYRE is an applied learning program designed to connect undergraduate first-year students with authentic hands-on research experiences in a variety of STEM-related disciplines. Students selected for the FYRE program enroll in an introductory research seminar course that exposes them to research methods and are matched with research positions in WSU labs actively involved in scholarly STEM research. FYRE students will be better prepared for advanced careers in STEM fields and will develop important skills in critical thinking and problem-solving that can be applied to careers outside of research.

  • The FYRE in STEM program is open to all first year undergraduate students at Wichita State. This includes transfer students in their first year as well as traditional freshmen, even those who may have enough credits to be considered a sophomore.
  • Students need not be a member of the Honors College, but should have a strong interest in STEM fields.
  • For the purposes of the FYRE program, we will use a broad definition of STEM that is not limited to basic sciences, engineering and math, but could also include exercise science, health professions (including CSD, public health, nursing, medical laboratory sciences, etc.), psychology and education majors focused on STEM fields.
