Recruitment
Designed specifically for talented and motivated high school students, the California State Summer School for Mathematics
and Science (COSMOS) is a 4-week summer residential program for high school scholars with demonstrated interest and
achievement in math and science.
The program is also open to exceptionally advanced and emotionally mature 8th graders capable
of participating in a one-month program away from home. This intensive experience is intended to encourage the brightest and
most promising young minds to continue their interest in these fields. Located on four University of California campuses
(Davis, Irvine, Santa Cruz, and San Diego), COSMOS provides students with an unparalleled opportunity to work side-by-side
with outstanding researchers and university faculty, covering topics that extend beyond the typical high school curriculum.
