About Summer Bridge
Since 2015, the University of Wyoming's Summer Bridge Program has been offering Pokes
the chance to forge ahead on their college degree while getting to know the campus
and forming new friendships. By participating in Summer Bridge, you will:
- Earn 6 credits toward graduation (or 3 credits in the Veteran Bridge)
- Get connected with returning Summer Bridge peer mentors who were once in your shoes
- Meet dozens of other UW students
- Live in the residence halls and enjoy the delicious offerings of Washakie Dining Center
- Go on excursions that simultaneously relieve stress and acclimate you to Laramie and
its surrounding areas
You will connect with faculty, learn more about the ins and outs of UW, and get crucial
advice from peer mentors, tutors, and coordinators. By the time you complete the Summer
Bridge, you will be a half a semester closer to graduating. You'll feel like a you
know the campus better, and you will meet some of the best friends you'll ever have!
Summer Bridge students continue into their sophomore year at a higher rate than peers
who did not participate in the program. Summer Bridge is affordable, providing reduced
tuition and fees for Wyoming residents.
It doesn't end on the last day of summer! With a fall reunion and an opportunity to
stay involved in future sessions of Summer Bridge as a peer mentor, students are asked
to help with planning of social and educational events.
Math Summer Bridge is for any student, but preference for math ACT scores between 17 and 26. If you
are in the Fall Bridge program, Summer Bridge is an alternate option on campus for students who are admitted
with support.
Veterans Summer Bridge is for student-veterans who may need to brush up on their math skills.
