For many high school students, graduation is a time filled with opportunity and uncertainty. Students are often overwhelmed with the decisions facing them about what college to attend or what field to study. The Summer College Program at The University of Mississippi helps qualified students explore academic and career interests by offering them a chance to experience all aspects of college life before they graduate from high school.
Students attending the first session can choose a different program for the second session.
However, some programs and institutes are available during only one session. Participants also benefit from extracurricular activities, athletic events and the use of the Turner Center facilities. Dr. Lynne Murchison, director of the Ole Miss Summer College for High School Students, said the programs offer the best of both worlds. The Summer College offers students a high ratio of faculty and staff to students. No more than 25 students may participate in each program session.
