Cañada College

Cañada College has three summer programs designed to help you achieve your academic goals.

Summer Math Jam

Math Jam is a two-week intensive preparation for the Math Placement Test for students intending to major in Science, Techonology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) fields. It has been designed especially for students who placed into a college math course below pre-calculus and who want to advance to the next math level by scoring higher on the Math Placement Test at the end of Math Jam.  The goal of Math Jam is to help students complete their Associates Degree and/or transfer requirements for a 4-year college/university in less time than previously possible.

Summer Engineering Institute

Summer Engineering Institute is a two-week residential summer camp at San Francico State University designed to provide real-world context to the study of engineering through practical, meaningful, applied and hands-on problem solving and design-oriented projects.

Summer Mini-Math Jam

Summer mini-Jam is a one-week program designed for students who want to review Math in preparation for either retaking the Math Placement test, or for taking a Cañada College math course in the fall semester.
