What is a normal day in the Chem-SURF program?
Your typical day will start around 8:00 a.m. and end around 5:30 p.m. or later, with an hour break for lunch. Each day is unique, and may include a variety of activities such as seminars and workshops, tours and fieldtrips. You also have devoted research time with your faculty mentor, to be completely immersed in your research project. Social activities throughout the week give you a chance to get to know other students, faculty, and administrators. After 5:30, your time is free to explore on and around campus. Several planned weekend activities give you the chance to make the most of your experience in Southern California and with fellow Chem-SURF students.
