Juniors and Seniors College Enrollment Program

Overview:

High School students for the SUM Bridge program can enroll at SUM and take college courses with other SUM students, receiving college credit that would be either transferable to another college, or would allow students to continue after high school to finish their degree at SUM. (For U.S. Students only)

Course Delivery Methods

High School students take online classes with enrolled, program-seeking SUM students.
High School students can complete the practical ministry credits at their church, at a local cohort in their area, or onsite at the El Dorado Hills main campus.

Admissions Policy

High School students would need a minimum GPA of 3.0.
Students will also need to fill out an application and be accepted to SUM, submit an official High School Transcript to [email protected], fill out a pastoral reference, and get a parent’s signed permission (click here for the parent permission form.)
High School students will also need to read and agree to the SUM Statement of Faith once accepted.
Students must be in their Junior or Senior year of High School to apply for the Bridge Program.
