Michigan State University

High School Honors Science, Math, and Engineering Program, Summer 2013

http://education.msu.edu/hshsp/

Program Goals

The HSHSP provides its participants with a unique opportunity to “live and breathe” research in a university environment. Its goals are not only to educate individuals about the research process but to provide the right kind of social context for such knowledge and expertise to flourish. Their goal is to provide opportunities to enrich one’s knowledge about intellectual work in science and mathematics and to make new and, hopefully, lasting friendships.

Syracuse University

Summer College for High School Students, July 1-August 9, 2013

http://summercollege.syr.edu/2013

Preparing for college is a process that can take years, and self discovery is a big part of it.  Summer College helps students discover who they are and what direction they want their lives to take.  Credit and noncredit programs such as architecture, engineering, acting, musical theatre, studio art and design offer high school students the opportunity of a lifetime.  They explore college majors and academic fields, experience college life, and identify preferences through access to the resources of a major university. 

Students must be entering their junior or senior year of high school in the fall of 2013 to enroll. Sophomores will be considered on a case-by-case basis for noncredit programs. Admission is determined through review of applications, essay, and transcripts.  Application information and program costs are available at http://summercollege.syr.edu.
