Programs for Youth
College is in your future. Just sooner than you thought!
If you are a bright and active middle or high school student, our youth programs are designed just for you. You can explore your interests with non-credit classes during winter, spring or summer breaks, or you can get the full college experience by taking credit courses with matriculated UR students during the fall, spring or summer sessions. You can even live on campus over the summer! If you've got an entrepreneurial spirit we can even help you start your own real business.
