Summer Programs for Undergraduate Research (SPUR) The UCLA Summer Programs for Undergraduate Research (SPUR) offer upper division undergraduate students with outstanding academic potential the opportunity to work closely with faculty mentors on research projects. The programs are designed for students who plan to pursue the PhD degree and enter academic careers. Opportunities are available in virtually all academic fields (e.g., arts, humanities, social sciences, life sciences, health sciences, physical sciences, etc.).

Each student participant will be working with a faculty mentor with special expertise and interests matched, as closely as possible, to the student's research interests and career goals. Students will either assist the faculty member in an ongoing research project or work collaboratively with the mentor in designing a new project of mutual interest.

A directory of UCLA faculty interests is available online should you wish to suggest a faculty member with whom to work.

The program features:

• regular seminars on academic career opportunities
• GRE test preparation
• writing and research skills
