Are high school students allowed to take psychology courses during summer?

I'm a junior looking forward to studying psychology in college. I've heard that some colleges offer summer programs for high school students. Do you guys know if there are good psychology courses available over the summer that would add value to my college application?

Absolutely! Many universities and organizations offer summer programs geared towards high school students interested in psychology. These courses can be incredibly valuable, not only in terms of the insight and experience you gain into the field but also in demonstrating your passion and initiative on your college application. You'll want to look for programs that provide a mix of academic rigor and practical experience. For instance, programs that offer a chance to participate in research or interact with professionals in the field will be particularly beneficial. Just make sure to check the admission requirements and deadlines as these programs can be competitive. Also, consider reaching out to your school counselor, as they may know about specific programs or can guide you to resources where you can find reputable options. Participating in a summer program can be a fantastic way to deepen your understanding of psychology and make your college application stand out!
