JSU Summer Bridge Program

Your Bridge to Success

The Summer Bridge Program is designed to provide a comprehensive program of orientation and academic support created to ease the transition from high school to college. Students participate in a five-week session consisting of college classes, workshops, advisement and career advising events, and activities. The program offers students the opportunity to experience college life before the fall semester while earning 7 credit hours. The students will live on campus and attend classes Monday through Friday.
