UC Merced’s Summer Bridge First Year Program is an eight-week experience designed to provide incoming students an opportunity to adapt to the academic culture, discover campus resources, build a strong network of peers and mentors, experience living on campus, and ease the transition from high school to college. While at Summer Bridge, students meet with their mentor from the Success Mentor Program, experience university lectures, and attend various workshops and presentations put on by Summer Bridge staff. Being a part of the Summer Bridge First Year Program allows students to earn units and get a head start on their major and general education requirements.
