The Health Leaders Summer Academy (HLSA) is sponsored by the University of Central Florida College of Medicine, Office of Access, Belonging & Community Engagement. It is an immersive, educational summer experience for high school students (10-12 th ) who have a strong passion for pursuing a career in one of the allied health sciences or medicine. The goal of the HLSA is to support students from low-income groups to plan their future educational goals in their areas of interest and connect with healthcare professionals from diverse backgrounds and specialties. The program presents opportunities to learn about health-centered education tracks and programs at UCF, tour university campuses and facilities, and engage in activities designed to increase interest, awareness and passion for healthcare and research professions.

External (non-UCF) Opportunities

Medical Summer consists of 1 and 2 week-long day camps that introduce students to several aspects of life in medicine. These camps are great for students who know they want to go into medicine and wish to get hands-on experience to make them stand out on their college or BSMD applications. The Clinical Skills camp is especially great for those just exploring or considering a career in medicine. Medical Summer offers programs in Neurology, Medical Writing & Publishing, Clinical Research, Clinical Skills and Virtual Cardiology for rising 9 th -12 th graders. For more information, email: [email protected] . Apply here for the Medical Summer programs: bit.ly/MedicalSummer . Applications are open and acceptances are made on a rolling basis until camp capacity is reached.

Teacher Programs

NSF RET Site in GIS at UCF will take place this summer through Citizen Science GIS at University of Central Florida . We are pleased to host the seventh year of our National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates & Teachers (REU/RET) Site “Preparing the Next Generation of Scholars through Community GIS and Citizen Science.” Our program offers fully funded summer research experiences for eight undergraduate students and two K-12 teachers.

Engineering Management (MS)

Program at a glance.

The Master of Science in Engineering Management degree in Industrial Engineering focuses on effective decision-making in engineering and technological organizations.

The degree is offered on campus and can be taken entirely through the Florida Engineering Educational Delivery System (FEEDS), which provides video-streamed versions of classes over the internet.

This program can be taken entirely through the Florida Engineering Educational Delivery System (FEEDS), which provides video-streamed versions of classes over the Internet.

The Engineering Management MSEM degree requires an undergraduate degree in Engineering or a closely related discipline. Students with undergraduate degrees outside of industrial engineering may be required to take additional prerequisites. An approved program of study must be developed in consultation with the graduate program director. The total number of hours is 30 credit hours.

Total Credit Hours Required: 30 Credit Hours Minimum beyond the Bachelor's Degree

This program has potential ties to professional licensure or certification in the field. For more information on how this program may prepare you in that regard, please view the licensure disclosure for the Engineering Management MSEM program.

Please note: Engineering Management (MS) may be completed fully online , although not all elective options or program prerequisites may be offered online. Newly admitted students choosing to complete this program exclusively via UCF online classes may enroll with a reduction in campus-based fees.

International students (F or J visa) are required to enroll in a full-time course load of 9 credit hours during the fall and spring semesters. Only 3 of the 9 credit hours may be taken in a completely online format. For a detailed listing of enrollment requirements for international students, please visit http://global.ucf.edu/ . If you have questions, please consult UCF Global at (407) 823-2337.
