Join UTSA’S Klesse College of Engineering and Integrated Design for a variety of exciting summer camps exclusively for high school students! Camps are open to rising 9th-12th grade students. Day and overnight options are available as well as scholarship options.
Summer Career Academy in Architecture & Interior Design
The Summer Career Academy introduces participants to the careers of professional architects and interior designers and clarifies the academic study necessary to achieve that career goal. The program offers a broad yet intensive hands-on career discovery experience and individual introduction to many basic and important aspects of the practices leading to the design of the built environment. Taught by School of Architecture + Planning faculty, the program is geared to those with little or no prior experience with studio practices. Participation in Summer Academy enables you to test whether architecture or interior design is the right career decision and help you prepare and qualify for successful application into university level professional design degree
