    Overview

    Get a feel for college life on the campus of UC Berkeley this summer! Select from a variety of academic courses as you live, learn and explore for two weeks, either as a resident in the UCB dorms or as a commuter. Dive deep into your area of interest with an accomplished instructor and meet other students from around the US--and the world!--with similar interests. 

    Summer Springboard offers a mix of academic exploration, social opportunities and self-exploration. Weekend excursions round out the experience as students get to know the campus and bring their learning in their area of interest to the next level! With over a dozen courses to choose from, ranging from Architecture to Pre-Med to Neurobiology, there's something for everyone here.

    Depending on your area of interest, we'll visit some of the most dynamic and innovative companies and organizations in Silicon Valley and across the Bay Area, such as Tesla, Stanford University, and other institutions.

    Explore the Bay Area's famous landmarks: The Golden Gate Bridge, Pier 39, Ghirardelli Square, Fisherman's Wharf, and more! We'll also visit California's Great America for a morning of rides, treats and fun.
