Overview
Join MITES Summer (formerly MITES) for our six-week, on-campus program that immerses students from across the country in life at MIT. You'll take five rigorous, rewarding math, science, and humanities courses—and discover all you can achieve. You'll also participate in lab tours and social events, and benefit from college admissions counseling. This national program gives you firsthand insights into the value and reward of STEM degrees and careers, while also developing the academic and personal skills you need for success.
MITES Summer alumni reflect on their transformational experiences in the program and why they chose to return to mentor and teach.
All program-related costs are covered by generous individuals, foundations, corporations, and MIT. Students only pay for transportation to and from MIT.
A semester of college condensed into one invigorating summer, the MITES Summer program includes high-level math and science, as well as electives that focus on real-world STEM applications—from Machine Learning to Architecture to Genomics—what most high school curricula don't cover. You'll learn about the impact of STEM on society and how to use your knowledge to build a better world.
You'll discover firsthand what it's like to be a student at MIT, and gain insight into how to apply to colleges, all while laying the groundwork for you to thrive in STEM professions.
