These programs provide an early glimpse of college life and allow students to build upon their skills and talents as they prepare for their next step.

Each two-week program is an introduction to the rigorous academics and hands-on learning that are central to the Muhlenberg experience.

Topics include new media and journalism, entrepreneurship and economics, theatre, political science, and psychology. Each program will include a culminating experience or project and a half-day Career Accelerator session aimed at translating their summer experience into future opportunities through their college applications and beyond.
