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.
The Summer Bridge Program for 2024 will take place from June 12th to July 30th.

A benefit of the JSU Summer Bridge Program is the assignment of a success coach who will also serve as the student’s first year advisor.
