A Summer of Excellence

How do you set yourself apart from other college applicants? How do you get a taste of post-high-school life while taking on fun, new challenges? Why not do something BIG with your summer while earning college credit and living on a college campus? For the last 25 years the University of Arizona Honors College Summer of Excellence program (SOE) has offered an academic and social experience for students like you. Open to sophomores, juniors and seniors, SOE students take actual university courses, live on the UA campus and earn college credit, all while developing real college skills and meeting friends from around the country. It’s simply the best way to experience college while still in high school.
