Career Cornerstone Center: Careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Medicine

Pre-college summer programs and camps are offered throughout the country, often through Universities to provide high school students with experiences in science, mathematics, technology, engineering, or healthcare. In addition to the list below, be sure to check your local university to see what programs they may have planned for the summer.

Students and parents should find out many details about a camp before deciding to attend. Factors such as the size of the camp, number of weeks, amount of hands-on activities, housing, student/teacher ratio, available credit, and of course costs should enter into your decision.

The following is a sampling of the hundreds of available programs. Be sure to check if a university or community college near you also offers summer experiences in STEM. If you know of a program not listed, please let us know!

Featured Program: Exploration Summer Program
For more than thirty years, the Exploration Summer Program has brought together bright, curious, and interesting young people from around the globe to challenge themselves, discover the world of people and ideas, and experience the joy of learning.
