The College of Charleston’s Summer 2011 Upward Bound and Pre-College programs are about challenge, discovery, opportunity and new friends. Inquisitive and talented middle and high school students from the Lowcountry and the I-95 corridor will come to the College of Charleston to prepare for college success, and to experience life as a student on one of America’s most historic campus.
