What is the Upward Bound Summer Program?

We are proud of our summer programs because they are integral to our college success philosophy.  UB and UBMS students who attend the summer program improve their academic skill base and habits, become comfortable living on college campuses, and learn to face their fears by trying new things.  More importantly, students who complete the summer program come away with a community of friends, increased self-efficacy, and a strong sense of belonging.

The summer programs are opportunities available to students who have shown a commitment to their education by completing the academic year requirements and participating in academic year programming. All summer programs are 6 weeks in length, and have varied residential and commuter formats. Please talk to one of our staff for more information or if you have any questions.
