UCLA Graduate Programs

Summer Programs for Undergraduate Research (SPUR)

Program purpose.

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 wish to learn more about the graduate school experience and possibly pursue an academic career in teaching and research.  Opportunities are available in virtually all academic fields (e.g., arts, humanities, social sciences, life sciences, health sciences, physical sciences, etc.).

Student participants in many SPUR programs will work with a faculty mentor with special expertise and interests matched, as closely as possible, to the student’s research interests and career goals. Most, but not all, SPUR programs pair students with a faculty mentor.  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.

Most SPUR programs feature seminars on:

• writing and research skills
• strategies for enhancing success in applying to graduate school
• graduate school funding opportunities
• opportunities for informal discussion with UCLA graduate students
• academic career opportunities
• cultural and educational activities

For further details about specific programs, please refer to the  UCLA Summer Programs for Undergraduate and Graduate Research Booklet .

As a condition of acceptance into the program, program participants will be asked after their departure to update information on their educational and career activities. This tracking is done solely to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. It is critical that we be able to conduct this long-term evaluation in order to maintain continuing funding for the programs. The information collected remains strictly confidential.

Please check with your respective summer program of interest about whether it will be conducted remotely or in-person.

2024 Program Dates

Most programs run eight weeks, from June 2024 to August 2024. Some programs in the sciences, technological, engineering and mathematics fields run 10 weeks, from June 2024 to September 2024.  One program in the humanities and social sciences runs six weeks, from June 2024 to August 2024.

The tentative dates for SPUR 2024 are June 23 to August 17 (8-week programs) and June 23 to August 30 (10-week programs).

All application materials and supporting documents must be  received by March 31, 2024 unless otherwise stated in the program description.  Preference will be given to applications that are completed by the program’s deadline. Notification of decisions will be made by the end of May 2024.  Please contact the individual program coordinators for questions regarding the application and application deadline.

Programs interested in being added to the those included in SPUR (or those on hiatus and seeking to resume inclusion) must reach out to RaShawna Williams, SPUR Program Representative, at  [email protected]  by March 31, 2024. We do our best to include all requests, but cannot guarantee participation.

The Research Practice (RES PRC) subject area includes interdisciplinary courses in the practice of research. Hosted by the Undergraduate Research Center – Sciences and the Undergraduate Research Center – Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences , Research Practice courses cover the development of research questions and the application of methodologies, as well as forms of qualitative and quantitative analysis, and research communications and publications. The courses combine the theoretical and the practical, and emphasize experiential learning. In the Research Practice subject area, students do not just gain knowledge and skills in their discipline; they also develop an understanding of how knowledge is created and applied across the university.

Research Practice courses expand on important skills for success in research, and also explore how research skills integrate into a variety of careers. Research Practice courses are not associated with one department; students in any major can enroll. Some courses are associated with a research, journal, or scholarship program, and so acceptance into that program is required to receive a PTE to join the class. Other courses have an open enrollment.

Need help getting course credit for off-campus research during the academic year or summer?  We can help with that too as we offer RES PRC 99 and RES PRC 195.

The Department of Linguistics

• What is Linguistics?

Linguistics is the scientific study of language.  Linguists (experts in linguistics) work on specific languages, but their primary goal is to understand the nature of language in general by asking questions such as:

• What distinguishes human language from other animal communication systems?
• What features are common to all human languages?
• How are the modes of linguistic communication (speech, writing, sign language) related to each other?
• How is language related to other types of human behavior?

The main goal of linguistics, like all other intellectual disciplines, is to increase our knowledge and understanding of the world. Since language is universal and fundamental to all human interactions, the knowledge attained in linguistics has many practical applications.  Linguists, with some training in other appropriate disciplines, are thus prepared to seek answers to questions such as:

• How can a previously unstudied language be analyzed and written?
• How can foreign languages best be taught and learned?
• How can speech be synthesized on a computer or how can a computer be programmed to understand human speech?
• How can the language problems of people with speech abnormalities be analyzed and rectified?
• How are linguistic issues in legal matters to be handled?

The Sub-Fields of Linguistics

Language is a phenomenon with many layers, from the sounds that speakers produce to the meanings that those sounds express.  The field of Linguistics is comprised of several sub-fields. Most professional linguists become specialists in one or more of these sub-fields.  The major ones are:

The study of speech sounds.  Phoneticians study both the production of speech sounds by the human speech organs ( articulatory phonetics) and the properties of the sounds themselves ( acoustic phonetics).  Phoneticians are concerned with such questions as:

• What are the sounds, from among all those that humans could make, that actually exist in the world’s languages?
• What specially defines different “accents”?
• Can speakers be identified by “voiceprints”?
• What are the properties of sounds that would apply in computerized speech synthesis?

The study of language sound systems.  Phonologists are concerned with questions such as:

• What sounds contrast in one language but not another (answers to such questions explain why Spanish speakers have trouble with the difference between English sh and ch , or why English speakers have trouble with the different “u” sounds in French words like rue ‘street’ and roue ‘wheel’.)?
• What sounds of a language can or cannot occur one after the other (for example, why can words begin in st – in English but not in Spanish)?
• How do poets or writers or song lyrics intuitively know how to match the rhythm of speech to the abstract rhythmic pattern of a poetic or musical meter?

The study of word structure.  Morphologists examine such questions as:

• To what extent are ways of forming words “productive” or not (e.g. why do English speakers say arrival and amusement but not * arrivement and * amusal )?
• What determines when words change form (for example, why does English have to add – er to adjectives when making comparisons, but Hebrew does not add any equivalent)?
• How can humans program computers to recognize the “root” of a word separated from its “affixes” (e.g. how could a computer recognize walk , walks , walking , and walked as the “same” word)?

The study of how linguistic units larger than the word are constructed.  Syntacticians address such questions as:

• How can the number of sentences that speakers can create be infinite in number even though the number of words in any language is finite?
• What makes a sentence like visiting relatives can be boring ambiguous?
• Why would English speakers judge a sentence like colorless green ideas sleep furiously to be “grammatical” even though it is nonsensical?
• How can languages express the same thoughts even though they construct their sentences in different ways (e.g. Why does English I saw them there mean the same thing as French je les y ai vus even though the order of elements in French is I them there have seen )?
• How can humans program a computer to analyze the structure of sentences?

The study of meaning.   Semanticists answer such questions as:

• How do speakers know what words mean (e.g. How does one know where red stops and orange starts)?
• What is the basis of metaphors (e.g. Why is my car is a lemon a “good” metaphor but my car is a cabbage is not)?
• What makes sentences like I’m looking for a tall student or the student I am looking for must be tall have more than one meaning?
• In a sentence like I regret that he lied , how do we know that, in fact, he did lie?
• How many meanings can be found in a sentence like three students read three books and why do just those meanings exist?

In addition to these sub-fields, there are a number of other sub-fields that cross-cut them:

Historical linguistics

The study of how languages change over time, addressing such questions as why modern English is different form Old English and Middle English or what it means to say that English and German are “more closely related” to each other than English and French.

Sociolinguistics

The study of how language is used in society, addressing such questions as what makes some dialects more “prestigious” than others, where slang comes from and why it arises, or what happens when two languages come together in “bilingual” communities.

Psycholinguistics

The study of how language is processed in the mind, addressing such questions as how we can hear a string of language noises and make sense of them, how children can learn to speak and understand the language of their environment as quickly and effortlessly as they do, or how people with pathological language problems differ from people who have “normal” language.

Neurolinguistics

The study of the actual encoding of language in the brain, addressing such questions as what parts of the brain different aspects of language are stored in, how language is actually stored, what goes on physically in the brain when language is processed, or how the brain compensates when certain areas are damaged.

Computational linguistics

Learning and understanding a language involves computing the properties of that language that are described in its phonology, syntax, and semantics.  The challenge of describing this process connects linguistics with computational issues at a very fundamental level.  How could syntactic structures be computed from spoken language, how are semantic relations recognized, and how could these computational skills be acquired?

Transfer Waitlist

The waitlist at UCLA and other colleges is used to manage new student enrollment. While UCLA aims to enroll the maximum number of students possible, the waitlist provides an opportunity for high-caliber applicants to be considered for admission if space becomes available after the Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) deadline. Being on the waitlist is a measure of academic competitiveness, but it does not guarantee admission. 

For transfer waitlist applicants, consideration for admission occurs if space becomes available after June 1st. The waitlist is by invitation only, and applicants must opt-in to be considered by May 15th through the My Application Status website . To be fair to all applicants, additional materials (including letters of recommendation) cannot be accepted and will not be reviewed if sent. However, there is space provided in the Waitlist Option form to provide updates and additional information. Students on the waitlist are not ranked, and we do not know how many students will accept our waitlist offer. We notify students as early as possible after June 1st, and we will update students throughout the summer.  

Applicants can be on the waitlist for more than one UC campus if offered the option. It is advisable to accept another college's offer before their deadline, as being on the waitlist does not guarantee admission. Changes to the Waitlist Option form can be made until May 15th, after which no further changes will be accepted.

Additional information for waitlisted applicants, including FAQs, can be found through the My Application Status website .

If admitted off the waitlist, students will be eligible for financial aid if they submitted their application (FAFSA or California DREAM Act) and listed UCLA (school code 001315) as one of the schools on it.  

Statement on UCLA organizational change by UC President Michael V. Drake, M.D.

Statement on UCLA organizational change by University of California President Michael V. Drake, M.D. (May 5, 2024):

Today, UCLA Chancellor Gene Block announced the appointment of Rick Braziel as UCLA’s new Associate Vice Chancellor for Campus Safety.  Braziel is a former chief of the Sacramento Police Department who brings to UCLA a wealth of experience in community policing, emergency response operations, and institutional reviews. I fully support this appointment and believe that it is an important step towards restoring confidence in our public safety systems and procedures.

In the days ahead, I will be announcing details about the independent external review of what happened last week at UCLA. It is critical that the questions that I and many others have are answered by a respected and impartial investigator.

Finally, I urge the UC community and any visitors to our campuses to treat each other with dignity and respect, and to maintain a civil and safe environment for all — even when protesting contentious issues and in highly emotional situations. The University of California has a rich tradition of robust expression, one we want to preserve in a safe and respectful manner. When peaceful protests become magnets for violence or impede our community’s access to classes and their employment, it is imperative that we take the actions necessary to protect our communities and restore access.

Study Shows How Higher Education Supports Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Students Through Culturally Relevant Courses, Programs, and Research

Analysis of minority-serving institutions on the East and West Coasts demonstrates layered processes to build students’ capacities

The model minority myth paints a picture of Asian Americans as a monolithic group with unparalleled success in academics. A new NYU study unpacks this myth, exploring the needs of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander students and how higher education institutions support these populations.

In 2007, Congress established a federal designation for higher education institutions that enroll at least 10 percent of undergraduate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA&NHPI) students, and who enroll a significant proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. This designation as an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution (AANAPISI) was among one of the newest categories of minority-serving institutions that receive federal funding to advance educational equity and support for ethnic and racial minorities.

In a two-site case study, Mike Hoa Nguyen , assistant professor of education at NYU Steinhardt, collected data from interviews, internal and public university documents, and observations of activities, courses, and meetings to determine the process in which AANAPISI programs expand students’ capacities through culturally relevant coursework, mentorship, research, and civic engagement. His findings are published in The Review of Higher Education .

“AANAPISIs demonstrate a federal commitment to supporting the unique educational needs of AA&NHPI students, which are too often obscured by the model minority myth,” said Nguyen. “This myth dangerously asserts that Asian American students, and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander students by association, are universally successful and unparalleled in their academic achievements. AANAPISIs play a major role in addressing this problem, and in doing so, provide critical resources to uplift the students they serve. This study documents the process in which these colleges and universities engage in this important work.”

Nguyen's study centered on a large, public community college on the West Coast and a large, urban, regional public university on the East Coast. Nguyen’s findings related to the experiences of students in these programs.

He uncovered a five-tiered process that the two institutions use to build opportunities for learning, practice, and engagement:

AA&NHPI Focused Coursework At both institutions, courses focused on these populations are offered through the institutions’ Asian American Studies programs, where students are exposed to concepts connected to their racial and ethnic identities. One student shared her experience with a course, Asian Women in the United States, “Through my experience with that class I learned…for the first time, issues that affected my community. Specifically, me as an Asian American woman, specifically Vietnamese American…”

Teaching and Mentoring Students who had previously taken AA&NHPI coursework provided tutoring and mentoring to support new students with classwork, programs, books, and scholarship applications.  According to one mentor, “Cambodian Americans fall through the cracks, we’re just not in higher ed…It’s not a supportive space for us…[the AANAPISI faculty] understand…from their own community work, from being on campus, and [from] teaching for so long that…when they find students who fit these demographics it makes sense for them to mentor them.”

Advanced AA&NHPI Focused Coursework After serving as mentors, students often take more advanced courses focused on theoretical, historical, and contemporary issues regarding the AA&NHPI experience to continue their academics while gaining tools to make larger contributions toward their communities. 

Academic and Research Development Students who complete advanced coursework are provided opportunities to engage in academic projects and research with faculty and staff, presenting research at conferences or publishing in peer-reviewed journals. 

Professional and Community Experience The final step in the process offers opportunities for students to engage in community-based projects, internships, and employment with partner organizations, government offices, or other schools. A student shared that his research experience led to the creation of a Vietnamese American organizing and training program. “[Researchers] found out that Vietnamese Americans in [the neighborhood] don't participate in civics or politics…they basically feel disenfranchised, like their vote doesn’t matter…So, the research showed that there needs to be an organization to help push and provide opportunities to talk about politics in a Vietnamese American progressive context…”

“AANAPISIs are the backbone for AA&NHPI students in higher education. These institutions account for six percent of all colleges and universities, yet enroll over 40 percent of all AA&NHPI undergraduates,” said Nguyen. “This study offers new understandings of the critical role that AANAPISIs play to expand educational opportunity and enrich learning experiences—which can be adopted beyond AANAPISIs and for other students—as well as inform the work of policymakers as they seek new solutions to refine and regulate the administration of minority-serving institutions.”

Funding for this study was provided by the UCLA Institute of American Cultures and the UCLA Asian American Studies Center.

Statement of Members of the Department of History in Response to Clearing the Encampment, 2 May 2024

Members of the Department of History at UCLA are horrified that the university administration has continued to disregard our students’ safety and their right to express their views. The university went from permitting a violent mob to attack our students (on 4/30 to 5/1) to authorizing law enforcement to brutalize the same students (on 5/2).

Our colleagues observed that the LAPD advanced on the student encampment, pushing and herding them, using the tactic of kettling. Forced closely together, the students made easy targets for police who shot them with stun grenades, chemical agents, and rubber bullets. Police beat them with batons and shot them with rubber bullets, striking one student in the face with a rubber bullet. At least twenty-five students had to be hospitalized. They then arrested approximately 200 students, staff, faculty, dragging visibly injured students away. This wanton use of potentially lethal force culminated in the complete destruction of the encampment. As our colleague Michael Meranze asserted , “No clearer message can be sent to those who disapprove of both dissent and American colleges and universities that their aggression will get them what they want.” Upon the night of the assault by a violent mob, law enforcement failed to protect the students. In contrast, in the early morning hours of 2 May, law enforcement assaulted and terrorized students participating in a peaceful protest. Unfortunately, the Chancellor’s message sent out in the aftermath of the expulsion seriously misrepresented these matters.

Given this abdication of the university’s commitment to protect our students and defend their rights, we join together to ask for the following:

• A commitment on the part of the university to refrain from taking any disciplinary actions against peaceful protesters (such as suspensions and expulsions, retribution against employees);
• An independent investigation into the actions of the university administration from the encampment’s founding until its destruction (including the complicity in the violent attack on the encampment, the Chancellor’s actions that overstepped his authority, and other problematic aspects of the handling of these issues);
• Advocacy on the part of the university in support of the students within the legal system (including legal representation, requests for leniency);
• University assistance to injured students through payment of medical bills;
• A serious engagement on the part of the university with the demands of protesters on the matter of disclosure and broad divestment from military weapons production companies and systems (beginning with a committee made up of students, faculty, and staff, as several other universities, such as Rutgers, Northwestern, Brown, and Evergreen State College, have agreed to form);
• A promise that the search process to hire a new Chancellor will directly address the issues raised by these incidents (to determine a candidate’s commitment to free expression, to the protection of our students, and to the values of the university community).
