High school students passionate about their creative pursuits can earn three transferable college units from SDSU’s four week virtual institute in Summer 2022. The Creative Mind Academy is open to U.S. and international high school juniors, seniors, and rising college freshmen.

“Students can look forward to engaging with and getting to know other students with similar passions and interests from all over the world,” says program director Heather Sweeney. “This is a unique opportunity for students to work with and build relationships with professors who are leaders in their field in a small, intimate classroom setting.
