Our University of Michigan pre-college summer program provides a special opportunity for students to delve into an expansive range of disciplines. Students can engage in a variety of top-notch courses such as sports management, medicine, psychology, entrepreneurship, and STEM, all delivered by industry experts. Our curriculum is designed to challenge and inspire, facilitating both intellectual and personal growth. Courses are designed as 1-week courses, so that students may start at the beginning of any week over the summer to allow for maximum flexibility (the minimum session duration is 2 weeks). Students mix and match 2 or 3 unique 1-week courses to design their personalized 2 or 3 week session. When enrolling, students select the duration of the session they wish to attend, either 2 or 3 weeks. After enrollment and during course registration, students select 1 course for each week of the session they are enrolled in. For example, during a 3 week session, during course registration, students select 3 unique 1-week courses.
