Programs at UCLA

Summer Discovery at UCLA reigns supreme as our longest running and most popular summer enrichment program. That’s because after a 38-year relationship with UCLA, we are able to offer a program that no other pre-college program can compare to. Our UCLA-created curriculum, access to facilities, and campus experience is unmatched.


Situated in the culturally vibrant city of Los Angeles, renowned for its theme parks, movie studios, and spotting the latest celebrity trends, a summer at UCLA offers an unparalleled cultural and educational experience. Students immerse themselves in an urban landscape characterized by exceptional dining, iconic city landmarks, and famous zip codes. After a day of stimulating coursework and collaborating with peers in the classroom, students can unwind and socialize with fellow students and the unique experiences that Los Angeles has to offer.
