Mandel Youth Humanities Academy

The Mandel Youth Humanities Academy is a summer program that offers rising high school juniors and seniors in Northeast Ohio an opportunity to broaden their humanities education and get a taste of college coursework. The summer program includes:

• Discussion-based seminars in philosophy, history, art, literature, and religion
• Explorations and interactive documentaries in new media
• Community-based learning across Cleveland through “City as Text” experiences

Accepted students receive a generous stipend equivalent to a full-time summer job, a personal computer and, as needed, transportation to and from campus.
