The Summer College for High School Students offers promising high school students the chance to experience Ithaca College's well-regarded academic tradition and residential experience.

Attending the IC summer college will allow you to share new social and intellectual experiences with over 100 other bright, motivated students. You'll approach your college years with greater insight into the college experience. And you'll have fun. We have high expectations and promise to immerse you fully in college life.

The Summer College for High School Students program offers a five-week program, a three-week program, and minicourses.

The five-week program is primarily for students who will be high school seniors in the fall. During this program, students take two college courses and earn 6 to 8 credits. Exceptional sophomores who will be juniors in the fall may also apply. The three-week program is for academically talented students who have completed their sophomore or junior year in high school. It pro-vides in-depth exposure to college academics and college life. Students select one of the following courses and earn 2 or 3 college credits.

The Summer College Minicourses are for students who want to work closely with a professor exploring one of the topics listed. Students may enroll in both minicourse sessions and/or the three-week session. No grades are awarded, but students receive a certificate of completion. The minicourses are open to all qualified high school students.

The five-week courses are Ithaca College 3- and 4-credit courses offered during summer session II. College students may register for these courses on a first-come, first-served basis.
