Camp Offerings
We regularly add new courses to the summer academy, so please revisit for updates. For an overview of our offerings, here’s a list of last year’s lineup.
Residential Options
In addition to the numerous STEM courses we have available, the LSU Pre-College Summer Program additionally provides students with the option to Commute or live Residentially on the LSU campus dormitories. We recognize that for many students, this may be their first time residing on a college campus, living with a roommate or in a community setting.
Residential hall availability may vary each year, but our campus dormitories typically offer two-student rooms with suite-style bathrooms. You can explore the housing complexes where our students have stayed in previous years through this virtual tour, for a glimpse of the comfortable and convenient accommodations LSU provides.
Our aim is to foster a positive environment where you can thrive. To achieve this, we’ve set community standards and accountability measures in place to guarantee a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable housing experience for all.
