Here is a list of US universities that offer Chinese immersion programs over the summer.
Looking for overseas programs? Go here. From outside the US but your country has a great immersion program? Let me know and I'll add a section.
Updated June 2021. This is only intended to be a reference -- please check program pages for the most up-to-date information!

** How many years of college-level study are recommended for each class level (I came up with this scale myself to help people find programs more easily -- check individual program pages for more specific information):
Novice = none
Beginner = one year
Intermediate = two years
Advanced = three years
Advanced high = four or more years
Heritage = growing up speaking Chinese at home
