We are excited to announce our 2026 Summer Programs!
Summer programs at the BMSC offer immersive field experiences at the senior undergraduate level. We inspire investigation, promote critical thinking and offer students the opportunity to conduct their own independent research.
Our summer programs are full-time immersive experiences.
Students may only register for one course or internship placement within each block.
