INTERNSHIP & ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS

Many colleges, businesses, and organizations offer enrichment programs in the summer for students to explore future careers. This is not an exhaustive or endorsed list, but rather ones that have come across my desk. A Google search is a fabulous way to seek out more opportunities!

Applications are now open for Columbia University's Pre-College Programs!

At Columbia, plans are well underway to welcome a new cohort of students to our Pre-College programs this summer.

Through our Immersion program, students in grades 9-12 have an opportunity to try their hand at over 90 subjects normally reserved for college. For example: Constitutional Law, Investment Portfolio Management, Introduction to Material Science and Nanotechnology, and Introduction to Architectural Design and Theory, to name a few. By getting a taste of these subjects while in high school, students can save time and energy by honing their college interests at a young age.
Here is a link to their most recent flyer which will give you all the relevant information about our summer program. You will see that we offer both online and in-person options. For more detailed information, please visit Summer Immersion: Online to learn about online study options and for on-campus study, please visit Summer Immersion: New York City. The early registration deadline is February 3.
As a token of appreciation, here is a code to waive the $80 application fee: HSIM220
