What is the Summer Bridge Scholars Program?
The Summer Bridge Scholars Program (SBSP) is a seven-week academic program that bridges the gaps in opportunity created by inequitable systems in education. This exclusive, invitation-only opportunity allows scholars to learn to leverage their academic skills in this new environment, develop a peer support network, and to familiarize themselves with the campus and its resources.
The Summer Bridge Scholars Program offers an intensive and supportive academic environment, small class sizes with high levels of faculty attention, and highly individualized academic advising.
All Summer Bridge Scholars will earn six credits by registering for two courses:
- CSP 100: Seminar in Academic Engagement (3 cr.)
AND one of the following courses chosen in consultation with an academic advisor:
- CSP 103: Foundations in Quantitative Reasoning and Literacy (3 cr.)
- CSP 105: Writing and Culture Seminar (3 cr.)
Each class will provide multiple opportunities for engaging in course material with faculty and classmates. This will take many forms such as weekly recorded lectures, online class discussions, and study groups. Faculty will be available for virtual office hours, and peer tutors will be available to assist with writing and math concepts.
