新年早々、夏休みの計画を立てはじめた方もいらっしゃるのではないでしょうか？

サマースクール（サマーコース）に関し、お問い合わせの多い2つのケースについてご紹介します。
１） 現在、日本の大学生。アメリカの大学のサマーコースを受講したい
２） 現在、日本の高校生。アメリカの大学が高校生向けに提供するサマースクールに参加したい

１）現在、日本の大学生。アメリカの大学のサマーコースを受講したい

英語研修目的で、留学生用の英語コース(Intensive English Program, ESL Programなど)は、短期での参加も可能です。英語研修の情報については、以下のサイトをご参照ください。
よくある質問：語学留学　http://www.fulbright.jp/study/res/faq13.html

留学生は、短期留学であってもフルタイムで在籍しなければならず、また学生ビザ取得に必要な入学許可証（I-20)を学校に発行してもらう必要があります。しかし、当方が知る限りでは、（学部生が受講するような単位も取得できる）サマーコース（夏季学期）だけを受講するために、学生ビザ取得に必要な入学許可証（I-20)を発行する大学はないのでは、と理解しております。

しかし、大学のextension/continuing education（生涯教育コース/大学公開講座）プログラムなどでは、短期で（留学生も含めて）受け入れる大学もあるようです。

Continuing Education/extensionの探し方ですが、それに特化した学校検索エンジンは存在しないため、一般検索エンジンで「extension, edu 」などキーワードで検索なさってみてください。一般的に大規模な総合大学（例：University of Californiaシステム、New York University など）の多くは、extension programを設けている事が多いようです。なお、大学のContinuing Education/extensionプログラムに留学する場合、注意しなければならないのは、１）留学先のextensionプログラムが留学生も対象としたフルタイムのコースを設けているかどうか、２）学生ビザを申請する際に必要な入学許可書I-20を発行しているかどうかをチェックする必要があるという点です。

また、日本の大学によっては、在学生に対し、夏期短期留学プログラムを設けている大学もありますので、自分の在籍大学の留学生課/国際交流課にも問い合わせてみると良いでしょう。

２）現在、日本の高校生。アメリカの大学が高校生向けに提供するサマースクールに参加したい

高校生を対象としたアメリカの大学で開催されるサマープログラムは、下記のサイトや書籍で調べることが可能です。
