HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER INSTITUTES

The High School Summer Institutes are non-credit academic institutes that specialize in one area of interest or field of study.  Institutes combine traditional class and lab curriculum with organized field trips, guest lectures, and hands-on activities in order for students to gain valuable academic and career experience.  Students will complete a final project which varies for each institute.
