UC San Diego’s Summer Bridge Program warmly welcomes all incoming first-year students to apply! This five-week, student-centered experience is designed to support a smooth and successful transition from high school to university life. Through highly personalized connections and opportunities, Summer Bridge helps students thrive academically, socially, and personally as they begin their journey at UC San Diego. The program is especially beneficial for students who may not have had the opportunity to learn about university life before, such as first-generation college students.
If space becomes limited, priority may be given to first-generation students, those from financially disadvantaged backgrounds, and former foster youth.
What is Summer Bridge?
Exceptional staff and faculty deliver this extraordinary program, which focuses on key social and academic facets of the student experience, including:
- Acclimating to the academic culture of UC San Diego
- Discovering UC San Diego’s robust community of support for all students
- Building a strong network of peers and mentors
- Easing the exciting transition from high school to college
Students also receive peer and academic support during academic year!
