The Eagle STEM Summer Bridge program provides an academic and transitional experience
for recent high school graduates who have been accepted to Winthrop University and
the Eagle STEM Scholars program for the fall semester. The six-week program is designed
to assist undergraduate students in making a smooth transition to college. This program
equips incoming Eagle STEM scholars with the time management, critical thinking, and
social skills required to succeed in biology, chemistry, environmental science, mathematics,
or computer science degree tracks. Eagle STEM Summer Bridge students enroll in two
(out of three) summer courses, which will then apply toward their baccalaureate degree.
In addition to the academic benefits, the Eagle STEM Summer Bridge program sponsors
social, civic engagement, leadership, and culturally enriching activities. It offers
a balance of academics, student life, and student support services which provide its
participants with a foundation before entering college in the fall semester. This
program is a critical element of the Eagle STEM Scholars program.
Eagle STEM Summer Bridge students are considered early admitted college freshmen. The students are expected to comply with the Winthrop University Student Handbook ("Student Handbook"), including the Student Code of Conduct. Eagle STEM Summer Bridge students should review and be familiar with the guidelines in the Winthrop Student Handbook and with Winthrop University residential living guidelines.
The 2025 Summer Bridge students need to enroll in the Orientation Session #2 (June 16-17th).
