Summer can be a great time to gain experience in your field

If you already have a mentor, consider submitting a proposal to the Summer Undergraduate Research Program at SDSU, open to SDSU students/faculty.  You can earn summer salary while you work on your project!

There are departments on campus that have summer research programs for undergraduates, and there are national organizations that list opportunites as well.  Learn more about these Summer Research Opportunities.

If you are willing to live elsewhere during the summer, you can search for summer research opportunities at other universities. Search terms can include "summer research," "research experiences for undergraduates," "REU," or "summer undergraduate research fellowship."
