Commuter Program
The Commuter Program is for students who will live at home with parents or relatives in Miami-Dade or Broward County.
Summer Scholars is designed for the enjoyment of all students. As part of the program, commuters attend classes, eat lunch on campus, and take part in program activities. Commuters who appreciate their experience most participate in the evening and weekend activities. SSP activities give students time to bond with a diverse group of people outside of class and form long-lasting friendships. The individual student experience will be shaped by activity choices and level of involvement on-campus.
