Customize your academic path by choosing through a variety of Academies. These pre-college summer programs are a way to fully immerse yourself in a field of interest. Single courses are taken either in the morning or the afternoon and are combined to create a full day of courses. Academies, on the other hand, are more intensive. You can expect to participate in the Academy program both for the morning and afternoon sessions, giving ample time to explore topics in depth. The Academy courses usually meet 4-5 days per week and include homework assignments, presentations, and graded tests. You’ll receive a certificate from the university upon your successful completion of the intensive Academy courses, marking your hard work and progress. If you’ve been waiting to dive into a topic, such as law or business, then the Academy programs are a great option.

Career Accelerator college summer programs are another way to personalize your academics and discover the path best suited for your studies. These are 9-day and 2-week program options for students in grades 9-12. With a Career Accelerator program, you can get a head start on your career through the incorporation of intensive courses and immersive programming. Leadership, collaboration, innovation, and real-world experience led by expert instructors will help you achieve your personal, academic, and professional goals. Not only do these programs help you drive your education toward your desired path, but they also make for impressive additions to your college applications.
