Summer Focus is a six-week-long summer program that invites qualified high school students to attend classes
at UC Berkeley and live on campus in the lively Berkeley community. The program provides a unique opportunity
for students to experience the demands and rewards of college life in an academically-focused environment
designed to make the university experience both challenging and fun. Summer Focus students will have the
opportunity to select their own schedule of classes from the courses offered at UC Berkeley and from our Summer
Focus enrichment classes.
Participants will also have the chance to explore the many recreational and cultural offerings of the vibrant city of
Berkeley and the San Francisco Bay Area, and, of course, meet new people and make friends along the way. Admission
to Summer Focus is selective to ensure that students are prepared for the exciting challenge of a college course.
