What are summer programs?
Summer programs are a great way to explore academic interests, gain work experience, and more!
Residential Summer Programs refer to programs where students live on a college campus and taking college classes, sometimes for credit! These programs allow students to experience what it is like to be a college student.
Local Summer Programs refer to programs that are hosted by organizations in the Twin Cities. Students attend the programs during the day (no overnight component). These programs range from classes at colleges, to programs hosted by businesses.
Internships/Jobs refer to programs that are focused on gaining work experience. Some of these programs pay students for their work, while others are unpaid (some internships).
