COSMOS provides a unique opportunity for high school students to conduct university-level research and coursework alongside UC faculty.
COSMOS at UCLA offers an immersive, four-week residential program for high-achieving high school students interested in STEM. Participants engage in intensive, hands-on, lab-intensive coursework and research projects, working directly with UC faculty, researchers, and graduate students. The curriculum is designed to deepen understanding in various STEM fields, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and research skills. Students gain practical experience through project-based learning, often culminating in presentations or demonstrations of their work. The program aims to inspire future STEM leaders and provide a realistic preview of university-level studies and research.
A typical day involves a combination of lectures, hands-on lab work, group projects, and potentially guest speakers or field trips related to their chosen cluster.
This program is best for high-achieving high school students with a strong interest in STEM and a desire for an intensive, university-level academic experience.
