ÁùºÏͼ¿â President’s Academy is a distinguished program
for a select group of only 65 highly motivated high school students.Ìý
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Academy is relaunching with a new format. This year,
the President’s Academy is Aug. 3-5 and will be a non-residential program. Because
of these changes, the cost of the Academy is decreased to $200 per student.Ìý
The President’s Academy is a three-day college preparatory program held on the ÁùºÏͼ¿â
campus designed to look at the science and law of pandemics.
The Academy simulates the outbreak of a pandemic, and divides participants into teams
of specialists that attempt to identify the problem, to develop a drug that can treat
the disease, to create technology that can assist your team and control the flow of
information, and to try a case that protects the legal rights of individuals.
Participants work in science laboratories, computer/virtual reality laboratories,
and courtrooms with university faculty. This camp prepares students for a future major,
offers a glimpse into future careers, and equips scholars with the soft skills to
flourish in a competitive job market and global economy.
High school sophomores, juniors, and seniors with a minimum ACT score of 24 or a minimum
3.5 GPA are invited to apply at ulm.edu/presidentsacademy.
Applications are accepted now until July 13. Applicants admitted into the Academy
will be notified by July 14.Ìý
