SEEK Summer Bridge
2025 SEEK Summer Bridge Program

The Summer Bridge program will run Mon-Thurs from July 7-August 7 and is fully in-person. SEEK admitted students will be emailed more information.

Overview

The SEEK Summer Bridge Program is a mandatory four-week, non-residential program for incoming freshmen SEEK at Hunter participants. During the summer prior to their first academic year at Hunter College, summer participants take non-credit bearing introductory courses in English, Writing, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Computer Science. Participants attend weekly skill-building workshops, daily tutorials, team-building exercises, and engage in experiential learning. The entire summer experience is designed to prepare incoming freshmen for the rigorous academic work required of matriculated Hunter College students.

Based on individual student performance during the summer program, SEEK at Hunter staff and faculty work with participants to develop an Educational Action Plan, which will map out each student’s career at Hunter.

Objectives

The SEEK Summer Bridge Program objectives are:

  • to provide incoming participants with concentrated work in the areas of critical reading and analysis, formal writing, laboratory science and mathematics in order to prepare them for college-level work;
