Our curriculum, recognized as best-in-class at America's "Public Ivy," challenges students intellectually, inspiring confidence and maturity while unleashing a passion for learning.


The coursework is hands-on and immersive. Students work closely together, guided by passionate and motivated educators and industry veterans as they dive into curricula that bring academic areas of study to life.


The #1 Pre-College Enrichment Program Recommended by High School College Counselors


The University of Michigan program is designed for students who are passionate about exploring their academic interests, while also having ample time to embrace the diverse and vibrant opportunities that campus and the surrounding city have to offer.
