Undergraduate Research Assistant Opportunities
Research and clinical experience are often critical component of many graduate school applications. The UCSB Koegel Autism Center allows undergraduates to participate in several aspects of the applied research process under the close guidance of an experienced graduate student clinician or one of the autism center directors. Undergrads may also have the opportunity to work directly with children with autism and their families and schools, again with close supervision.
To apply, fill out our online CNCSP 197 Interest Form.
