Summer Program

Our six-week summer program gives the students an opportunity to see what real campus life is all about. Students will reside in the residence halls on the USU Eastern Price campus. They will attend core study classes that include Language Arts, Math, Science and Foreign Language where they will receive ¼ credit for each subject. Each student will be assigned to a gender-specific group of 5-6 students led by a Residential Team Leader.

Outside of class students will have an opportunity to explore careers in job shadowing, preform community service and of course, interact with other students and experience the college atmosphere.

The six-week summer program will include:

  • Credit for high school and college level courses completed
  • College success workshops
  • Financial aid and scholarship information
  • Opportunities to become leaders and team players
  • Community service opportunities 
  • Help with transitioning from high school to college
