This program will use an interdisciplinary approach to enhance students' critical thinking, writing, speaking, technology and research skills. All aspects of the program, including room and board and air travel to and from Southern California, are provided free of charge. Students will live in UC Berkeley residence halls, supervised by residential staff. Students can attend one session only. To be eligible, students must have a GPA of at least 3.4 in a college-preparatory curriculum.
Admission is selective.
Preference will be given to applicants from educationally disadvantaged environments. Applications will be distributed to Los Angeles County high schools in February. The application deadline is March 30. The program is primarily non-residential and is administered by UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Education. High school and AP courses are taken for college credit.
