Catapult yourself into the future with a pre-college summer program. This summer, high school students across the nation — and abroad — have a chance to experience the fun of college life. US and national universities and colleges open their doors to offer immersive programs offering a taste of academic rigor and campus culture.
Pre-college programs come in a variety of flavors catering to diverse academic interests. Explore STEM fields, the performing and visual arts, or liberal arts like history, politics, and writing. The sky’s the limit. College-level courses give you a taste of different academic disciplines and can even help you choose your career path.
The cool thing about these summer programs is they also expose you to life on a college campus. Perhaps you’ll live in a dorm room, meet new friends, and navigate the independence college life offers. Many programs offer day student options as well, so you can participate in the academic and social elements of campus life while living at home.
Flexibility is key! Pre-college summer programs typically run from one to six weeks, depending on your schedule and budget. So whether you have a jam-packed summer or want a longer academic experience, there’s a program for your needs.
Think of this “summer school” as an investment in your future, a chance to gain valuable academic experience, develop life skills, and build a strong network of peers. College awaits — are you ready to experience it?
