High school students have the opportunity to enroll in summer programs at various universities. Now, we know what you’re thinking – this is just about as far as we can get from summer. While that may be true, now is the time to start looking at and applying to programs for next summer so that you can get into the more exclusive ones.
Here are some potential benefits of taking a college summer program:
- Get some advance credits – Some college summer programs allow you to earn credits toward your degree. Of course, depending on what the credits are for and the school where you attend the summer program, the credits may or may not count toward your major or transfer to the university you attend, so you just have to consider that.
- Boost your student profile – A summer program may help pad your student profile and give you a leg up when it comes to admissions. Of course, the program you get accepted into will determine how impressive it is to an admissions officer. The best programs are those that are limited and tough to get into – more expensive doesn’t necessarily mean it will be more impressive.
- Do something you’re passionate about – A summer program may help you discover what you want to take as a major or even do as a career.
