Qualifications for Acceptance into Program
The University of Miami Summer Scholar Programs are for students who have completed their sophomore or junior year of high school, have a grade point average of 3.0 or above, and demonstrate outstanding extracurricular and co-curricular involvement. Students should also have a strong interest in the program to which they are applying. We may consider freshmen; those students should contact the office directly at 305-284-5078 and to speak with the program director.
Since our courses cover a full term's work in just three weeks, it is imperative that students arrive on campus ready to study. Designed specifically for the Summer Scholar Programs, these college-level courses are challenging; our professors will expect you to work hard. In addition to taking courses of interest, students will be preparing for full-time college enrollment.
Attending a Summer Scholar Program provides students with confidence in their ability to do college-level work prior to starting college. They also learn such other important life skills as budgeting their time, getting along with others in a new situation, and self-discipline.
