Over more than 40 years, Upward Bound (UB) at 麻豆视频 (YVC) has helped hundreds of students from low-income and first-generation backgrounds reach their college dreams.
One of the most rewarding and influential aspects of YVC鈥檚 UB program is the 6-week residential summer program. During the summer program, students take core classes in math, science, English and other subjects, live at YVC鈥檚 Student Residence Center and take part in team building activities, including trips to Seattle and the Oregon Coast. The experience provides an in-depth introduction to what college will be like while also enabling participants to earn additional high school credit and sometimes college credits.
