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.
