What Is Summer Discovery at UCLA?
Summer Discovery, a brand of Musiker Discovery Programs, operates this residential and commuter pre-college enrichment program on UCLA's campus. It is not the same as UCLA Summer Sessions' own high-school programs, and UCLA is not the applicant-facing operator. Summer Discovery says UCLA creates curricula and selects instructors, while Summer Discovery manages enrollment, housing, supervision, activities, excursions, and certificates.
The completed 2026 high-school options served grades 9-12 for two to six weeks between June 28 and August 7. Depending on duration and format, commuter prices ranged from $4,499 to $8,899 and residential prices from $7,499 to $15,899. Residential tuition included academics, housing, two meals per day, activities, included transportation, facilities, linens, and supervision; airfare, airport transfers, some course supplements, off-campus meals, medical costs, laundry, and spending money were extra.
