College Bridge at the University of Chicago is an exciting
opportunity for advanced high school students from the Chicago Public School

Tuition, fees and textbooks are fully funded by the UChicago Office of Civic
Engagement.
College Bridge consists of two programs: Academic Year Bridge and Summer Bridge. Eligible
students can apply to either program or both programs. Courses available range
from biology to history to the humanities. Subjects open to Bridge students
vary depending on the courses offered for the quarter and student preparedness.
