At a glance

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships (SURF) program at Caltech provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to engage in research under the guidance of Caltech faculty. Students work on a research project, write a research proposal, and conduct research over a 10-week period during the summer. The program culminates in a presentation at a symposium where students present their research findings. SURF aims to enhance students' educational experience through hands-on research and to prepare them for graduate studies and research careers.
