There are various programs throughout the US that host students over the summer for Undergraduate Research Experiences. I cannot stress how important these programs are for students who wish to attend graduate school (MA and Ph. D). These programs offer students the chance to introduce themselves to the world of academia. Some students will be allowed to shape their own projects while others may opt join a faculty endeavor. Either way, students have the option of presenting their research at the end of every summer at various National Research Conferences (It looks beautiful on a CV).
Now, there are an overwhelming amount of programs which look for candidates in the biological sciences. However, those interested in the humanities and social sciences should not feel left out. There are many opportunities for you. For those who are interested, here are a few websites to get you started. Many of the deadlines are approaching, so hurry.
Committee for Institutional Cooperation (look under students)
UC at Berkeley
Duke University (Life Sciences)
Google things like SURP, UROP, SROP, or McNair Scholars. These should bring up some possible programs as well.
Lastly, don't worry about the cost. Most, if not all of these are paid and come with a substantial amount of perks.
Good luck!!!
