Undergraduate Research

The Summer Undergraduate Research Institute (SURI) provides a structured program and financial support for research projects conducted during the summer at VMI while receiving course credit.

Cadets engage in in-depth research with their faculty mentor for either a 5-week or a 10-week experience earning a scholarship and a room and board stipend. SURI has sponsored guest speakers, library instruction, and skill development sessions such as writing a project proposal, adding research to a resume, and how to write a research abstract.

Summer Transition

The VMI Summer Transition Program (STP) is designed to improve the academic and physical fitness of incoming cadets prior to matriculation. All individuals who have committed to matriculate at VMI in August are invited to the STP.

STP is held during the last four weeks of the second term of the VMI Summer Session and, like the summer session, operates in a civilian environment; there is no military training. Matriculating students will take one academic class and get to know the VMI post.
