On the heels of our busiest summer yet, Mini College returns in 2027 with the same mission: introducing young learners to a world of possibilities through immersive, hands-on educational experiences at the University of Oklahoma.
Designed for rising 1st–6th grade students, Mini College offers nine weeks of engaging academic exploration, with courses developed and led by members of the OU community - including faculty, staff, and graduate teaching assistants. From science and mathematics to the arts, humanities, and beyond, students are encouraged to discover new interests, ask questions, and explore subjects they may not encounter in their everyday classrooms.
Each week features three unique courses, with students grouped by grade level and rotating through different learning experiences throughout the day. Along the way, they'll collaborate with peers, engage with instructors, and experience the excitement of learning on a university campus.
And because summer should still feel like summer, each afternoon concludes with recreational time at the OU pool, giving students an opportunity to unwind, build friendships, and enjoy themselves.
