Stanford Summer CollegeDescription
Summer College is a residential eight-week college experience that provides academic, social, and intellectual opportunities for program participants to take challenging college-level courses. High School Summer College gives qualified high school students the extra guidance they need to be self-reliant and master their college-level courses. Program participants enroll as visiting undergraduates in Stanford’s Summer Quarter and take the same courses, taught by the same Stanford faculty, as matriculated Stanford students.
