Course Listings UNC Undergraduate Bulletin	The Society of Physics Students is a club for undergraduate Physics and Astronomy students that promotes the spreading of physics to the community. SPS also offers students a chance to meet other people with similar interests. Our club is the local chapter of a national organization.
Undergraduate students have many opportunities to participate in research projects on and off campus (see some descriptions of past work below). Students should contact individual faculty members to learn more about on-campus opportunities. Students from underrepresented groups are eligible to participate in the Summer Pre-Graduate Research Experience program, which offers such students a chance to work full-time on research projects under the direction of UNC-CH faculty members. All students should consider applying to one of the summer research programs supported by the National Science Foundation through their Research Experiences for Undergraduates program. These university-based programs offer paid full-time research participation, typically for 10 weeks during the summer. A wide variety of research fields within physics, astronomy, and related fields are represented.
