"Academic excellence, fun-filled recreational programming, and the widest choices for weekend exploration are the hallmarks of each Academic Study Associates (ASA) precollege program. Whether you join an ASA program on the campus of UMass Amherst, UC Berkeley, Princeton, Cambridge, or Oxford University or in Spain, France, Italy, or Costa Rica, you are ensured one of the most memorable summers of your life. As an ASA student, you will live in an exciting community and work closely with an outstanding group of students and staff and faculty members. By the end of the summer, you will have wonderful new friends, many fine memories, and the security and confidence to ensure your successful transition to college life."

–Marcia Evans, Director of ASA
