SUMMER BRIDGE MISSION STATEMENT

A rigorous, seven-week academic program, Summer Bridge at UNC-Chapel Hill provides top instructional and counseling staff to help its participants make the transition from high school to college. We target incoming freshman NC students from small/rural high schools that may lack AP or other college preparatory courses to take college-level English and math courses and attend workshops that acclimate them to UNC-Chapel Hill’s resources. Upon completion of Summer Bridge, students can earn up to 6.0 academic credit hours, and they face the Fall semester equipped with the successful academic strategies that Bridge models.
