During the summer, students participate in a residential component on campus for six weeks. The summer program includes academic classes, community service projects, career awareness seminars and field trips to cultural and recreational sites. Participants who have graduated from high school attend a College Bridge Program, and enroll in six hours of college credit during a summer term. The summer component involves an intensive educational program that includes mathematics, computer science, social studies, English and a foreign language. Students also participate in career guidance activities and attend various cultural and recreational field trips.
Participants enroll in two college courses for credit.
The Bridge program is designed to aid students' transition from high school to college. Program staff continue to follow up with graduates to ensure enrollment and successful completion of post secondary education. Applications are submitted to the program office. Once the application is completed, determination of eligibility selection is made by the program's staff. Recommendation by teachers and counselors are also a requirement in the selection process.
