BU Summer Sessions

The Boston University Summer Challenge is a two-week residential program designed for high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors to experience college life and academic exploration. Participants select two seminars from a diverse list, engaging in lectures, discussions, group work, and project-based assignments, sometimes including field trips. The program emphasizes small class sizes for personalized attention from college instructors. Beyond academics, it includes an admissions workshop offering insights into the college application process. Students also become part of a close-knit community, participating in various activities to make new friends and explore Boston.
