Going the Extra MileSchool can be so much more than attending class, reading books and taking tests. Have you ever considered a study abroad program? How about summer research, or a scholastic competition? In many cases, lack of money should not be the immediate concern. Many programs offer a stipend, or can be funded through financial aid. Taking a traditional program of study to the next level can assist you in clarifying interests, stretch you as a student, and prepare you for life beyond college. |
Your department can serve as a great resource for you in finding open research opportunities. Some of these are available on campus, while other opportunities are off-campus, in another state, or even in another country. Some of these also include a research stipend. Whether you are a graduate or undergraduate student, see your advisor and ask where you might find open research opportunities. To get started in your search, here are three programs you might want to browse. Let us know if you learn of other programs by completing the feedback link at the bottom of this page.
Whether you enter the university as a Freshman or Transfer, some assurance that requirements can be met within a specific period of time is often a top priority when making a decision about where to attend. The Cal Poly Pomona Two and Four-Year Graduation Pledge Programs are designed to guarantee that requirements can be satisfied within two or four years.
