This eight-week summer intensive curriculum will enable prospective students to begin their university career early. They will discover what skills and behaviors students need to be successful in the university setting – and to begin developing those skills. Earning course credit for Academic Writing (Writing 01) or Pre-Calculus (Math 05) allows Summer Bridge students to enter their fall semester with a head start on earning graduation credits.

Additionally, the Summer Bridge Program offers:

• Small class size (max of 20 in Math and 15 in Writing)

• Close, supporting ties among students and instructors that last beyond summer

• Personalized advising and counseling

• Introduction to campus resources
• Early registration for fall 2013 courses

• Transition to university social and intellectual life

• Development of mentoring relationships with current upperclassmen
