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)

Admissions Policy

Courses Available

  • Students can enroll up to 16 credit hours per trimester.
  • Students can earn their AATM while enrolled in the Bridge program.
  • Courses are offered online with flexibility to complete the course work for the week.

Practicums

  • Practicum requirements must be fulfilled by Bridge students.
  • Students can participate in practicums by:
    • Joining a local cohort that is near the student;
    • Attending at the El Dorado Hills, CA campus
    • Completing their practicum, at a local church, with their online Cohort Advisor.

Community Options

  • Bridge students are invited to choose the community option that best suits their needs and are welcomed into the online, main campus of cohort communities.
  • A site fee may be associated with participation in a local cohort community.

Cohort Considerations

  • The Bridge program is a creative way to connect with public School, Christian School and Home School communities.
  • Bridge students in good academic standing will have the option to continue their studies to earn their Bachelor’s degree with SUM upon graduation from High School.
  • Although no stipend will be provided to the cohort for Bridge students, Cohorts providing on site student community and student services will be permitted to charge a reasonable site fee to Bridge Students.

Course Delivery Methods

  • 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.

Cost and Amount of Courses

  • Financial Aid is not available to students in a Bridge Program status; students will need to finance their tuition from other sources.
  • Cost per unit is $100.
  • Bridge Program students can earn up to 64 units, which is the equivalent of SUM’s AATM degree.
