SUMMER ACADEMY CLASSES

Students have the option to participate in activities outside the classroom with their peers in the program, such as study sessions, scavenger hunts, performances together and more. Students take two courses in the summer and receive academic credit. These classes are required for all PATH students, regardless of each students major. Check out the Current & Past Year Programs page for class details specific to this year.The courses taken during the PATH summer academy help prepare students for the workload and teaching style of UC San Diego professors, and help familiarize students with campus resources, and academic expectations.
