An authentic college experience

During this six-week summer program, students are enrolled in two academic courses of their choice, studying alongside Boston University undergraduates and earning up to eight college credits. The High School Honors Program offers more than 100 undergraduate courses in a range of exciting subjects not typically available in high school classrooms—such as cultural anthropology, architecture, and economics. Students receive guidance in identifying subject areas and courses that are appropriately challenging and applicable to future college work.

Outside of class, High School Honors students interact with a vibrant community of peers from all over the United States and the world, participating in workshops and planned social activities on campus and throughout the city of Boston—whether they live on-campus or choose to commute from home.

Research Internship in Science & Engineering

Spend six weeks this summer conducting university-level research in state-of-the-art laboratories, alongside some of the sharpest scientific minds in the country.

Learn how to get started »

Under the mentorship of our distinguished faculty, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate students, high school summer research internship (RISE) students work on a research project designed by their professor for forty hours a week. You will conduct research in a discipline of your interest, gaining valuable technical and analytical skills, as well as insight into the scientific process.

We have research opportunities in the following subject areas: astronomy, biology, biomedical engineering, chemistry, electrical and computer engineering, mechanical engineering, medical laboratory research, physics, and psychology.

The Big Picture

Whether residing on campus or commuting, summer research interns enjoy a stimulating intellectual and social camaraderie with their peers, culminating in a scientific conference at the end of the program. Each student presents his or her research by creating a poster. In some cases, research interns submit their work to national science fair contests such as the Siemens Competition and the Intel Science Talent Search.
