See below for ways to get the most out of your time at USD.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

As a faculty member, I can also mentor for these programs.

STARBURST

• Summer research opportunity where you work with a faculty mentor.

• All students will receive a $6,000 stipend for a full-time summer research or creative works experience (10 weeks, 40 hours/week).

• Includes other perks, such as half off student housing during the Summer.

STAR or BURST?

• If this is your first time diving into undergraduate research, you would opt for BURST. If you're well acquainted with undergraduate research at USD, you would opt for STAR.
