University of Michigan Summer Programs for High Schoolers

Experience summer in Ann Arbor

A summer with NSLC at the University of Michigan gives students the chance to explore medicine, engineering, business, and psychology in the heart of Ann Arbor. Here, the university is part of the fabric of the city. Campus buildings, bookstores, cafés, theaters, and restaurants fill the streets around downtown, giving the area the unmistakable energy of a college town. University traditions and everyday city life meet among leafy neighborhoods, public parks, and a lively arts scene.

The University of Michigan is a major research university, with nationally recognized programs spanning medicine, engineering, business, and the social sciences. Its commitment to research and interdisciplinary study makes Ann Arbor a place where complex questions are investigated from many perspectives. Through hands-on projects and workshops, NSLC students will explore their academic interests while getting a taste of university life where students are at the heart of the community.

Life on a College Campus

Dates, Programs, & Tuition

NSLC provides an immersive pre-college experience that prepares students for life beyond high school, allowing them to study in university classrooms, learn to navigate a campus, and experience college life firsthand. When submitting an application, students will select a residential or commuter option: residential students stay on campus in supervised dormitories, while commuter students attend daily programming and return home each evening.
