Summer Scholars Program
The 2019 Summer Scholars Program has been cancelled due to low enrollment.
The Summer Scholars Program is a unique opportunity for high-achieving students to get a jump start on their college career in an immersive, engaging environment. New Middle Georgia State University students will begin their college experience in a living-learning community, earning six hours of core curriculum credit through four weeks of online summer instruction and a month-long, high-impact campus experience, culminating in an optional travel opportunity to Costa Rica.
Benefits of the Summer Scholars Program
- Membership in an elite learning community
- Weekly travel to internationally significant sites in Georgia
- Optional international travel experience in Costa Rica
- Priority access to housing in Macon or Cochran
- Participation in honors courses with a gateway to the Honors Program.
