The program includes a weeklong summer session that consists of a welcome event, four consecutive days on site, and various class offerings. The program offers educational sessions, skill-building sessions, networking opportunities, and electives.
Upon completion of the program, students continue to participate in events including college admission panels, local day trips, and informational sessions with our experts.
