Summer Bridge Summer Bridge is a six-week academic program that allows select first-time freshman students to experience the Chicago State environment prior to entering the fall term. Students selected for the program receive instruction in English, Math, and Reading from university instructors providing them with the opportunity to receive college-level instruction before they begin their first semester of college. Students will bridge the gap between high school and college through academic coursework, enrichment activities, and the opportunity to build relationships and network with students, faculty, and staff. Instructions and tutoring are essential to the Summer Bridge program. Bridge Classes READING Who can participate in Summer Bridge? Summer Bridge is for incoming Chicago State University students.
