NSU Summer Bridge Program to offer college prep to incoming freshmen

TAHLEQUAH, Okla. — Northeastern State University will offer its Summer Bridge Program July 6-27. Summer Bridge is a four-week program that offers immersive, non-credit college prep for incoming freshmen, including classes in math, reading and writing. 

“Summer Bridge is a way for students to hone their math, reading and writing skills,” Director of Student Engagement and Transitions Dr. Kendra Haggard said. “They are also able to connect to campus partners, each other, current students and university life.”

The program offers coursework, tutoring, group mentoring and personal development workshops.

“Coming out of high school, I didn't know what to expect. I was nervous and scared that I was not going to fit in and my college experience was not going to be enjoyable,” NSU sophomore Maddie Francis said. “Summer Bridge gave me the opportunity to meet new people and get things down on what is expected of me as a college student. I am incredibly thankful that I had this opportunity to learn, meet new people and make new memories with them.”

Eligible freshmen will have the option to choose online or in-person participation. The maximum cost of Summer Bridge is $1,360 which includes meals and housing. Scholarships are available as well.
