Xavier University News March 2016 Xavier Offers Six Academic Summer Programs for High School Students Xavier University of Louisiana will host seven opportunities for middle school and high school students to enrich their academic and social development this summer. With pre-collegiate programs ranging from science to math, students will be able to explore an area of interest on a deeper level through in-class discussions, laboratory experiences, and cultural explorations in an exciting, but rigorous, academic setting. As part of the learning experience at Xavier, students will enhance their high school career and get a jump start on college life. Programs being offered this summer include the Summer Science Academy STAR programs (BioStar, ChemStar, and MathStar), Stress on Analytical Reasoning (SOAR), the Center of Excellence Program, The Future Math and Stem Teachers (FMSTA) program, and the Mardi Gras Indiana Arts Program. Summer programs are hosted by various departments who are committed to and have resources to engage and provide opportunities for interested high school students. Programs are grant funded and may differ every summer. Certain programs may not be open for general application.
