Take a look at our daily schedule to understand what goes on during our summer seminar. Our days are packed with reading, writing, class time, and tutorial sessions. Our students see great results, especially if they're willing to work for it!

Our students want to get involved in solving society's biggest problems. Our program gives you the tools and education you need to make a difference, we ask our students come with with open minds, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to change.

We're much more than a summer program. Can you commit to the month of July AND the full academic year? Look at our summer calendar and year-long schedule and see if you can make weekly meetings on Columbia's campus before you apply.

We accept New York City students entering their senior year of high school. We give strong preference to students from low-income households and/or who will be the first generation in their families to attend college. Learn more.
