Students who would like to expand their academic options are strongly encouraged to enroll. This six-week program provides students with an opportunity to become familiar with the academic, social, and cultural life at Syracuse before they get caught up in the fast pace of the fall semester. Sponsored by the Division of Student Support and Retention in cooperation with Syracuse University colleges, SummerStart provides a variety of activities to enhance students' preparedness for college life. Students may earn credits toward a degree by selecting two to three courses in association with an academic advisor. SummerStart makes a wide variety of courses available.
Students live in campus housing and participate in recreational and social activities.
Seminars introduce students to the full range of campus services so participants can be knowledgeable consumers of the college experience. Those who attend become familiar with the campus and its resources, and find themselves better prepared for the fall semester. With SummerStart, students don't just learn, they learn smart. While the SummerStart program offers an intensive six-week academic program, there is always room for fun on campus and around scenic Central New York. Enjoy . . .
