Launched in 1966 by Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, C.S.C., the University of Notre Dame’s Upward Bound (UB) is one of the oldest and most successful college preparatory programs of its kind in the nation. Through intensive academic support and exposure to the college-going experience, Upward Bound equips South Bend high school students to enter and succeed in higher education.

These sessions also utilize project-based learning to capture students’ interests—applying classroom knowledge to interesting and relevant, real-world problems.
