The University of Missouri’s Summer Bridge Accelerator Program is a residential academic experience that helps bridge the gap between high school and college for selected applicants. First-year, first-time college students have the opportunity to enroll in general education courses, create meaningful relationships, and become familiar with campus resources before arriving at Mizzou in the fall – giving these students an edge and setting them on the path to success.
Be sure to apply here! Applications are now open for Summer 2024.
Please note: To kick-off the program a mandatory orientation is scheduled for June 1, 2024.
