Explore college life at the University of Miami in this three-week, residential program! The Summer Scholar Programs are designed to provide current high school sophomores and juniors with the opportunity to learn about a collegiate discipline and the career paths that could result from further study. Living on campus reiterates the importance of time management, responsibility, self motivation, and facilitates meeting a diverse group of people from around the world.
The University of Miami provides expert instructors and occasional guest lecturers for each faculty-led program. This unique, student-centered curriculum involves hands-on learning and may include a variety of educational field trips. Classes consist of only summer scholars, and the course objectives are tailored for a high school audience. There are optional recreational activities provided on and off campus that are chaperoned by the program staff.
There will be a volunteer opportunity in the surrounding community because we also want our students to learn citizenship and service in addition to academics. Not only is this program meant to be summer study experience, but it should also help students make more informed decisions about their college major and educate them about becoming independent young adults. |
