AU Advantage Summer Bridge Program

Preparing students for success in college

Transitioning to college can be an exciting yet intimidating experience for many high school students. Alfred University’s AU Advantage Summer Bridge Program (AUA) assists first-year students in getting a jump start on their academics and college experience, helping alleviate some of the stress and making their transition to college more successful.

Participants become AUA Scholars and spend four weeks living on campus in the summer before their first semester. During this time, they have a full schedule of activities, coursework, and seminars — all designed to facilitate a smooth and comprehensive transition to Alfred University. By the end of the program, AUA Scholars will know not only how to survive college but also how to thrive.
