This summer, get the credit you deserve for your exceptional academic efforts through SMU's College Experience, a unique five-week summer program that provides an opportunity for a small and carefully chosen group of highly motivated and academically able high school students to get a head start on college and a taste of campus life. Through participation in college credit courses, students entering the eleventh and twelfth grades can earn up to six credit hours which can be applied towards a bachelor's degree.

Students live together in a campus residence facility, and cultural and recreational activities are arranged by resident advisors.

Students participate in two courses chosen from a selection which includes both noncredit and college credit courses. Students with particularly strong academic profiles, including high SAT or ACT scores, are encouraged to take a college credit course as one of their two choices.

Course topics may include computer science, mathematics, political science, economics, geography, physics, paleontology, law, medical science, ethics, literature, writing, life science, psychology, art history, humanities, and performing arts.

Academic development is carefully balanced with a variety of cultural and recreational activities.

The Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SEAP) provides an opportunity for students to participate in research at a Department of Navy (DoN) laboratory during the summer.

The goals of SEAP are to encourage participating students to pursue science and engineering careers, to further their education via mentoring by laboratory personnel and their participation in research, and to make them aware of DoN research and technology efforts, which can lead to employment within the DoN.

SEAP provided competitive research internships to over 290 high school students this year. Participating students spend eight weeks during the summer doing research at 24 DoN laboratories.
