Opportunities for High School Students

Although the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options program is not in effect in the summer, qualified high school students have other summer opportunities at the University of Minnesota.

Institute of Technology Center for Educational Programs (ITCEP)

ITCEP develops and administers educational programs in mathematics and its related science and engineering applications for pre-college, undergraduate and graduate students, and for K-12 preservice/inservice teachers. The Center contributes to research, assessment, and educational scholarship and collaborates with University, local, and national policy groups working in these areas.

Regular Summer Classes

High school students may take summer classes at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, but students must pay tuition, fees, and textbook costs themselves. To register in regular Summer Term courses, you must have completed the 10th grade and rank in the top 20 percent of your class. As a general rule, introductory (1000- and 2000-level) courses are open to you. In exceptional cases, intermediate (3000- and 4000-level) courses might also be available.

For detailed information on how to register, visit the College of Continuing Education Web site.
