Student Researcher applications for spring 2025 will open in December 2024.
Program Requirements
UC Berkeley undergraduate students from any discipline can participate.
Students are only allowed to participate in one Discovery project per semester, even if they are selected for more than one.
Students must enroll in the CDSS Discovery course (CDSS 198), which offers variable units on a P/NP basis. This course includes required activities and homework, including attending several workshops.
The final project is a poster summarizing the research, to be presented at the Discovery Symposium during RRR week.
