About

UGA Youth Programs encompass a wide range of academic, leadership, and enrichment opportunities for middle- and high-school students. Rather than a single pre-college track, Georgia offers multiple pathways, including the Summer Academy at UGA, specialized non-credit certificates from the Terry College of Business, and the intensive Young Dawgs internship program. Academic areas span engineering, veterinary medicine, journalism, and the arts. Students may participate residentially, commute locally, or join virtual options like the Summer Bridge Math Program, with residential participants living on the Athens campus to experience the "Classic City" environment. Admission varies by track; while some programs use an application-based review (such as VetCAMP, which requires a 3.0+ GPA and video essay), others are available through registration until filled. For families seeking diverse summer options, UGA provides multiple entry points tailored to academic exploration and career-readiness.
