What this opportunity is really like
Here’s the short version before you leave Pathfind to investigate the official details.
What you would do
You enroll in real UC Berkeley lower-division courses over a six- or eight-week summer session, as a commuter or in the residential track. You're taking the same courses Berkeley undergraduates take, with college credit attached.
Why it might be worth your time
The courses carry actual college credit, so the summer ends with a Berkeley transcript entry rather than a certificate. It's tuition-based, so budget is part of the decision.
Is it a good fit?
Open to grades 10–12 who want a genuine college course instead of a pre-college survey course.
