Summer programs science

It has pushed me out of my comfort zone, immersed me in topics I'm passionate about, and maximized my learning capacity. I'm so grateful for my fellow SSPers, the TAs, the faculty and everyone who helped make this incredible experience real despite the pandemic. And I look forward to helping keep this unique program running for generations to come.

Applications open. We can remind you. Deadline for international applicants — all non-U. The Summer Science Program is an independent non-profit c 3, operated in cooperation with its host campuses and affiliates California Institute of Technology, Harvey Mudd College, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. You will put your critical thinking skills to the ultimate test as you identify and interpret evidence and explore the application of science and medicine in law enforcement.

In each of these tracks, you will investigate contemporary medical challenges facing society today; discuss the latest advances affecting the applied science of medicine; and learn various clinical skills and experience human dissection through video presentations and 3D modeling.

Taught by world-class experts, this program will prepare you to pursue a rigorous career in medicine. Skip to Content.

These immersive experiences combine engaging lectures with hands-on activities that introduce you to the rigors of the medical school curriculum. Do not hesitate to contact us at precollege berkeley.

In addition to participating in the daily curriculum, students will benefit from extracurricular activities, opportunities to connect them with the UC Berkeley campus, college preparatory workshops, and a Bay Area excursion.

Some activities will be mandatory and all are designed to help you meet other students in your program, make the most of your Berkeley learning experience, and prepare for your university studies. Dates, times, and events are subject to change. We will offer academic enrichment and college exploration workshops designed to help students prepare for the college admission process and beyond.

See here for more details and information. During the first week of your session, all Pre-College Scholars participants will be required to attend mandatory orientation workshops designed to support your transition into the program and help you make the most of your summer at Berkeley.

Meals Students will receive a meal plan that offers 3 meals per day. This intense six-week program immerses students into the life of a research lab. Though students attend weekly breakout sessions with faculty or graduate students, most of the time is spent working on an independent research project under the mentorship of a Vanderbilt faculty member.

The whole program revolves around lab time and projects, though some lectures are included in the curriculum to provide background and introduce exciting new concepts. Each course ends with the students presenting results of their independent project.

Over the course of six weeks, students can take part in either an internship tackling research projects under the mentorship of a BU faculty member or a practicum conducting group research under the guidance of a BU instructor.

With either choice, students can be sure they are participating in one of the best summer science programs available for high school students. In addition to hands-on research with accomplished professors, students will read up on the most current literature in their field, draft detailed research plans, and deliver a conference-style oral report. The Garcia Center at Stony Brook University in New York hosts an intensive seven-week pre-college summer program that combines formal instruction with independent research opportunities.

Students design an original research project, then work closely with Garcia Center faculty and staff who provide necessary guidance and mentorship. Unlike most programs, which end after a certain amount of time, this unique program encourages its students to continue work on their projects even after the official end of the summer program by entering their research projects in national competitions, writing and publishing about their work, and even seeking patents.

This unique opportunity offered by the Monell Center is actually an internship. Available to both high school students and undergrads, the program pairs participants up with full-time researchers to offer the extraordinary opportunity to take part in hands-on research training, learn to communicate in a professional scientific environment, and — of course — to increase appreciation of the chemical senses — all while earning a weekly salary.
