FAQs

• My major is not a STEM field, can I still apply?

  

  We encourage it, though please note that typically, most UC Davis faculty in the STEM and Social Science disciplines are on 12-month appointments and are available during the summer. Whereas, most Arts and Humanities faculty are on 9-month appointments and, therefore, are unavailable during the summer program dates.

• What is the decision timeline?

  

  Once all applications are received, the application is reviewed and applicants are recommended for acceptance into the program. Keep an eye out for an email from the program to update you on the status of your application. We expect to take a minimum of one month to review applications before sending any updates. Decisions will be made in mid- to late-April.

• How is the letter of recommendation process handled?

  

  When you fill out your application, you must provide the name and email address of the individual(s) who will write your letter of recommendation(s). Once your application is submitted, we will reach out to these individuals and ask them to provide a letter directly to us. One letter of recommendation is required from a professor, faculty advisor or course instructor. Letter recommenders should be able to describe the following: how long they have known you and in what capacity, observations of your motivation for graduate study and/or commitment to the academic and professional goals of attaining a Ph.D., candid appraisal of your intellectual ability, aptitude in research, potential for doctoral study, and the quality of previous work
