Interphase EDGE is a two (2) year scholar enrichment program that includes a seven-week summer program as well as an academic year component. The focus of the summer component is to give the scholars an introduction to the MIT experience by exposing them to the rigors of a full subject load and to life on MIT’s campus. In addition, the Interphase EDGE curriculum is uniquely designed to impart pivotal concepts that will increase long-term academic success. In other words, the program will not only give students an “edge” on their MIT experience; it will catalyze their success beyond MIT. During the summer and academic year, scholars will participate in a range of personal and educational development seminars and activities designed to ensure their smooth transition to college life. Through the academic year component, scholars will continue to build upon the relationships created during the summer by attending bi-weekly meetings with EDGE advisors and monthly professional and academic enhancement events. They will also participate in programs that will expose them to various career pathways.
