The Pacific Summer High School Institute is a two-week residential pre-college summer program designed for curious high school students to live, learn and grow at one of America’s top universities. During the program, summer institute students will become immersed in cutting-edge topics and issues through learning environments focused on real-world, hands-on experiences in our labs, studios, fields and makerspaces. In short, Pacific Institute students will experience college firsthand.

In the summer of 2024, the Pacific Summer High School Institute will run for two program sessions. The first session starts on June 2 and concludes on June 13, while the second session goes from June 18 until June 28.
