Lake Superior State University
LSSU will take high school students on a two-week summer geo-science program that will include a variety of important and interesting sites of geologic and Native American significance across the northern United States. The program particularly seeks participation of Native American students in 10th and 11th grade but all 10th-11th grade students are welcome to participate.
LSSU is known for its academic programs such as fisheries and wildlife management, engineering, chemistry and the environmental sciences, teacher education, nursing, geology, business management, fire science and criminal justice. It offers Michigan’s only accredited undergraduate degree program in environmental health. In addition, students attend for LSSU’s degrees in forensic sciences, recreation management, and legal studies.
The institution is also one of only three universities in the United States to offer the robotics specialization in the ABET/TAC accredited manufacturing engineering technology, electrical engineering, computer engineering, and mechanical engineering bachelor of science degrees. LSSU is home to one of the best robotics educational facilities in North America. The robotics laboratory is valued at over $3 million.
