Summer Programs

Spelman College's summer programs are back by popular demand and afford high school students an opportunity to spend several weeks on campus engaged in exciting, rigorous academic offerings. Each of the College's programs: the Art History and Curatorial Studies Program, Early College Program, Pre-Health Summer Programs, Computer Science Summer Program and the College Preparatory Institute, are taught by accomplished faculty members and professional facilitators. As a program participant, you will have an immersive residential experience, gain a sense of independence, and create lasting relationships with peers from across the United States. Incoming first-year college students majoring in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines can participate in the Women in STEM (WiSTEM) Summer Bridge Accelerator.
