Summer Bridge Program
Program Overview
The Summer Bridge program is a nationally-recognized three-week summer program for students who need extra academic work to place into college credit courses. This accelerated program offers English 0307, writing; English 0305, reading; or Math 0310 and is open to graduating seniors who passed the high school exit TAKS test but did not score high enough to place into college courses. Students take one of these courses during the three-week sessions and are matched with mentors throughout the program and into the fall semester. Useful information about career success, time management, and study skills are also integrated into the courses.
*The first 40 students who register and complete the course receive a $100 scholarship to be used at MC the following fall semester. Applicant must be a graduating senior or first-time college student.
