Discovery Summer

• Classes include science, math, a foreign language, one elective and English, with counseling sessions as an added feature.
• Shadowing opportunities include working alongside a professional in a career field in which students have indicated an interest.
• College tours conducted in the past include Tulane and Xavier Campus in New Orleans, LA; University of Houston; Texas Southern University; Paine College in Augusta, GA; Howard University; Georgia Tech; Morehouse College; Pennsylvania State; USC-Aiken, USC-Columbia; The Citadel; Columbia University; College of Charleston; and Florida State University.
• Past overnight field trips have included Washington, DC; Orlando, FL; New York; Philadelphia; and Atlanta. We have visited such attractions as the Smithsonian Institute; Independence Hall; various science museums; Martin Luther King Memorial; The Ben Franklin Institute of Science; SciTrek Museum; The Holocaust Museum; The Home of Frederick Douglas; the site of the World Trade Center; and the American Museum of Natural History. We have seen Broadway productions such as Rent, Phantom of the Opera, Shear Madness and Aida.
• Each trip entails having fun, of course, but participants are required to complete projects based on their experiences. The summer component ends with a recognition banquet attended by Trident Technical College officials, UBMSC staff, students, alumni and parents.
