The KURE Summer Bridge and KURE Transfer Bridge programs both offer summer research experiences in CSULB science or math for students prior to their junior year of undergraduate studies. Application deadlines for the summer programs are typically in late May, and programs begin in June.
KURE Semester Bridge
The KURE Semester Bridge Program is a semester-long research experience for students who are in their first or second year at CSULB. In this program, students will meet once a week for 3 hours, from late September until Thanksgiving, to conduct research on environmental toxins that are common in household items or products. To participate, students will enroll in BIOL 296 with Dr YuanYu (Kent) Lee.

KURE Transfer Bridge
The KURE Transfer Bridge Program is a 10-week program for students who are transferring from a community college to CSULB for the fall semester. Participating students will have a paid position in one of many faculty-led research labs in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
