Therefore, you will need to commit (honor code) to participating only in summer research if you apply. This applies to courses offered at Wellesley or at other institutions. The exception is the Quantitative Analysis Institute Program.

Can I participate in the Quantitative Analysis Institute Summer Program 2022 while participating in the program?

Yes. You can participate in the Quantitative Analysis Institute Summer Program. If you are interested in participating in this course, speak with your faculty supervisor. Please contact Cassey Pattanayak atcpattanayak@wellesley.edufor more information about the course.

Can I take another job while participating in summer research?

No. Because summer research is a compensated program, you cannot take another job while doing summer research.
