Many universities offer summer programs to high school students. While the summer may feel like it’s far off, now is the best time to find the right program for you. Here are a few reasons you should consider a college summer program if you are in high school.
- Boost admissions chances – Let’s face it, any way you can get a leg up on other applicants is going to help you get into a better school. Admissions officers love to see things on an application that show you are willing to go the extra mile for your education and career.
- Discover your passion – If you really want to be sure about your major going into college, taking a related summer program is a great way to do it. On the other hand, if you are still undecided, taking a summer program may just help you to find the subject you are passionate about.
- Earn credits – Many summer programs provide actual college credits. This can save you time and money in the long run by helping you to graduate sooner. If you sign up for a program at a school you plan to attend, that’s an even bigger bonus because you won’t have to worry about whether the school will accept the credits.
