About the Program

Through College Now, qualified students get an early introduction to the college environment and a jump start on college coursework by taking credit-bearing college-level courses at the Lehman College campus. This experience helps students build the academic skills that are necessary to be successful in college.

  • This is an intensive summer program that will provide you with a college prep experience, allow you to improve your academic skills, and leave you with easily transferrable college credits!

    Programming will be M-TH, 10am-1pm + 2pm-4pm (if also taking BIO173).

    The courses tentatively available for Summer Search students to participate in will be MATH126, MATH132, MATH171/MATH108, BIO173. This course list will be updated in February — stay tuned!

  • This program will take place in New York City and does not include meals or overnight accommodations.

  • This is an open enrollment program, which means non-Summer Searchers will be able to join your group and you’ll meet folks from diverse backgrounds. There may be a couple of other Summer Searchers attending the same program, but most people will probably not know each other!

  • Phones and other electronic devices are available for use.

  • This program will take place in New York City. Summer Search can provide metro cards — talk to your mentor!

  • We recommend having $35-100 for personal spending. You may want to buy snacks!

  • There is no packing list necessary for this program. Be sure to ask your mentor or the College Now team for advice on what to wear/bring to your class.


The experience is definitely going to be hard. There is a certain amount of faith that students need to have in order to persevere through the experience, but students will leave really understanding what their capabilities are.
