The Summer Bridge Program is designed to provide a comprehensive program of orientation and academic support designed to ease the transition from high school to college. Students participate in a five-week session consisting of college classes, workshops, advisement and career development events, and activities. The program offers students the opportunity to experience college life before the fall semester while earning 6 credit hours. The program dates are June 22nd – July 27th, 2022. The students will live on campus and attend classes Monday through Friday.
A benefit of the JSU Summer Bridge Program is the assignment of a success coach who will also serve as the student’s first year advisor. The success coach will meet with the student three times per semester during their time at JSU to offer academic coaching and assist the student with necessary resources.
